    We are running according to schedule.
[00:46] ---
    Attention all commuters at this station!
[00:49] ---
    The train traveling between

[00:55] ---
    --A fire has broken out
    on the train running...
[00:56] ---
    --That's a huge fire.
    --A fire has broken out on the train running...
[01:00] ---
    I heard it was an Infernal.
[01:01] ---
    Another fire?
[01:25] ---
    You must be in pain.
[01:30] ---
    I'll put you out of your misery now.
[01:31] ---
    SFF!
[01:35] ---
    All civilians, please get back!
    This area is dangerous!
[01:39] ---
    You, too. Don't stand around here,
    step back, now.
[01:43] ---
    Huh? Aren't you...?
[01:45] ---
    Lieutenant! What are you doing?!
[01:47] ---
    Oh, excuse me.
[01:51] ---
    0810. Let's put this Infernal to rest.
[01:55] ---
    --Roger!
    --Roger!
[01:57] ---
    Sister, please begin the prayer.
[02:00] ---
    Right.
[02:03] ---
    Flame is the breath of the soul.

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

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

[00:06] ---
    You do, of course, know what's taking
    place in the world right now, right?
[00:12] ---
    The world is in shambles. In some places,
    flames are being whipped up,
[00:16] ---
    space is distorting in a way
    that is carving up continents,
[00:20] ---
    and many countries that
    once existed have fallen.
[00:23] ---
    Right now, there are few places
    where you can live a decent life
[00:27] ---
    other than here in the Tokyo Empire.
[00:30] ---
    And so, people gather here
    in the relatively undamaged Tokyo,
[00:35] ---
    where the Holy Sol Temple and
    Haijima Industries have developed
[00:38] ---
    Amaterasu, the perpetual
    thermal energy plant.
[00:40] ---
    The empire is the beneficiary
    of its vast energy,
[00:44] ---
    and has also made further advancements.
[00:48] ---
    Does this story keep going on?
[00:51] ---
    Who knows? If it were up to me,
    I'd like it to continue.
[00:57] ---
    So how did it go?
[00:59] ---
    This stuff I had you make for me
    did some interesting things.
[01:04] ---
    Special Fire Force Company 8,
    with that devil guy?
[01:08] ---
    I did a little checking into them.
[01:10] ---
    Their captain, Akitaru Obi, was decorated
    twice in his firefighter days.
[01:16] ---
    He was also stripped of them twice.
[01:18] ---
    "Akitaru Obi"
[01:19] ---
    The reason why they stripped them is because
[01:21] ---
    he disobeyed orders to
    give priority to life-saving.
[01:23] ---
    Very nice. A model fireman,
    whether for good or bad.
[01:29] ---
    You could say the 8th
[01:31] ---
    has been built up on the strength
    of Obi's character and magnetism.
[01:35] ---
    They're a different animal
    than the other companies.
[01:38] ---
    It's fascinating.
[01:43] ---
    "Shinra"
[01:52] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[01:53] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[01:57] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[02:00] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[02:02] ---
    The end is illuminated
[02:04] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[02:07] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[02:10] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[02:12] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[02:17] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[02:24] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[02:29] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[02:35] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[02:39] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[02:45] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[02:50] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[02:53] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[02:56] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[03:01] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:05] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[03:11] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused

    "Episode 3:

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

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

    Object approaching subject at high speed!
[01:41] ---
    Crunch!
[01:42] ---
    Judging by the Adolla pattern,

    "Episode 4:
    The Hero and the Princess"
[02:07] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[02:08] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[02:12] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[02:15] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[02:17] ---
    The end is illuminated
[02:19] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[02:22] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[02:25] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[02:28] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[02:32] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[02:39] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[02:44] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[02:50] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[02:54] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[03:00] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[03:05] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[03:08] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[03:11] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[03:16] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say

    "08:28:00"
[03:38] ---
    That's all the news we have.
    Today's Amaterasu operational rate is normal.
[03:43] ---
    All right, everyone, have
    a pleasant day. Látom.
[03:48] ---
    Sure enough, there's no news
    on yesterday's incident,
[03:50] ---
    or the man known as Joker.
[03:54] ---
    Could the Special Fire Force
    indeed be hiding something?
[04:03] ---
    If I stick with him, I'm sure I can
    get closer to the truth
[04:07] ---
    about the mystery of human combustion,
    and the day I lost Mom and Sho.
[04:15] ---
    Pardon me for interrupting your discussion.
[04:18] ---
    The analysis on the ashes Joker used
    to blow up the training facility came back.
[04:23] ---
    Apparently, their main component
    is Infernal ashes.
[04:30] ---
    Those ashes... were Infernal ashes?
[04:33] ---
    They're using the remains of the dead?
    Is nothing sacred?
[05:06] ---
    The flames of the original sin...
[05:21] ---
    Turns out I wasn't able
    to tell them about Sho.
[05:28] ---
    Hey, stop looking like you're dead
    when we're in the office!
[05:32] ---
    It's killing my own mood to work.
[05:36] ---
    This is Arthur Boyle, lord of Camelot.
    What is the nature of your message?
[05:42] ---
    I'm sorry about that.
    Special Fire Force Company 8.
[05:46] ---
    Ah, yes, yes...
[05:51] ---
    Yes. A dog? Right. Very well.
[05:56] ---
    --Hey...
    --What is the address?
[05:57] ---
    --What?
    --What is the address?
[05:58] ---
    --Why did you become a Fire Soldier?
    --Okay... Okay... Very well.
[06:01] ---
    --Because I'm a knight.
    --Okay... Okay... Very well.
[06:02] ---
    We'll be there right away.
[06:05] ---
    Hey, you two.
[06:07] ---
    A dog got caught up in a tree,
    and can't get back down again.
[06:10] ---
    Would you mind going and rescuing him?
[06:12] ---
    Rescue a dog? Isn't that a job
    for regular firefighters?
[06:17] ---
    We get calls mistaking Fire Soldiers
    for regular firefighters all the time.
[06:21] ---
    And you two aren't getting anywhere
    with your work anyway, are you?
[06:25] ---
    I'll take care of the rest of that.
[06:29] ---
    All right. I'll go.
[06:32] ---
    With my ability, it will be easy
    to get him out of a tree.
[06:38] ---
    "Mr. Fireman, right here!! Up! Up!!"
[06:43] ---
    Huh? That's not a dog--
[06:46] ---
    so much as it's Mamoru-kun, isn't it?
[06:48] ---
    Goodness...
[06:58] ---
    Th-Thank you very much.
[07:00] ---
    What were you doing up a tree?
[07:03] ---
    While passing out balloons during
    a function at the shopping district,
[07:07] ---
    some neighborhood college
    students "hoorayed" me.
[07:10] ---
    "Hooray!"
[07:13] ---
    Why would they do that?
[07:18] ---
    Do you remember the serial killings
    carried out by that firefighter?
[07:22] ---
    Huh?
[07:23] ---
    The man who was a firefighter,
    but killed four people on a spree--
[07:27] ---
    Miyamoto.
[07:29] ---
    Ever since that case,
[07:31] ---
    people's discontent for the Fire Defense
    Agency and firefighters has grown,
[07:34] ---
    and sometimes, we get picked on like this.
[07:38] ---
    So, what happened to this firefighter?
[07:42] ---
    His verdict is scheduled
    to be announced today.
[07:46] ---
    Word is that he'll probably be found
    not guilty for psychiatric reasons.
[07:52] ---
    Thus, we find the defendant,
    Setsuo Miyamoto, not guilty.
[07:57] ---
    --Impossible!
    --The death penalty's too good for him!
[07:59] ---
    You scum!
[08:00] ---
    Do you know how many people he killed?!
[08:01] ---
    --Easy-peasy. The law is just a big pushover.
[08:01] ---
    --You're letting him off
    because he's a firefighter?!
[08:05] ---
    The country would be up a creek
    if a firefighter was found guilty.
[08:09] ---
    No sweat!
[08:14] ---
    Wah! It burns! Somebody!
    Somebody! Put me out!
[08:18] ---
    --Ha, ha, ha! That's what you get!
    --Get an extinguisher! Or even a blanket!
[08:19] ---
    --Scum!
    --The great Sol has decided to punish you!
[08:21] ---
    --The great Sol has decided to punish you!
[08:28] ---
    I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!
[08:34] ---
    Human combustion!
[08:35] ---
    Hurry and get out of here!
[08:37] ---
    An Infernal just spoke!
[08:49] ---
    Hey, your honor. How dare you decide
    what's going to happen to me.
[08:54] ---
    But I said you were innocent
    and set you free, didn't I?
[08:58] ---
    Shut up! I'm the one doing the judging now!
[09:09] ---
    Captain Obi! About the Infernal
    in Taito-ku, Ueno District...
[09:14] ---
    He has a sense of self?
[09:20] ---
    Fascinating. I want him, whatever it takes.
[09:24] ---
    Crunch!
[09:25] ---
    --To the control room!
    --Crunch...
[09:28] ---
    Where are Shinra and Arthur?
[09:36] ---
    An Infernal has appeared.
[09:38] ---
    Emergency vehicles are now passing through.
[09:41] ---
    All other traffic, please pull
    to the side and clear a path.
[09:46] ---
    An emergency dispatch?
[09:48] ---
    The Matchbox!
[09:52] ---
    Shinra! Arthur! I know you're in the area!
[09:56] ---
    Wander out without permission, will you?!
[09:58] ---
    When we get back, you're getting disciplined
    until you can't move anymore!
[10:03] ---
    --Huh?!
    --Huh?!
[10:04] ---
    I'm sorry, both of you! I'm sorry!
[10:07] ---
    --I couldn't tell him I sent you. I'll do anything.
    Ramen is on me. Forgive me--
[10:08] ---
    --Maki-san, what's the matter?
    --I couldn't tell him I sent you. I'll do anything.
    Ramen is on me. Forgive me--
[10:13] ---
    Mamoru-kun, I'm sorry,
    but you have to take over!
[10:16] ---
    Látom.
[10:19] ---
    See you, Arthur! I'm going on ahead!
[10:25] ---
    Ah! What are you doing?!
[10:27] ---
    Take me with you.
[10:29] ---
    Hiyo Silver!
[10:32] ---
    Why, you... I'm honestly,
    seriously... honestly...
[10:37] ---
    ...seriously...
[10:52] ---
    Shinra! Arthur!
[10:54] ---
    What are you doing?! This is a public road!
[10:57] ---
    N-Never mind about that,
    an Infernal has appeared, right?
[11:02] ---
    A murder defendant at Ueno District Court
    has become an Infernal.
[11:07] ---
    He's apparently attacking people right now.
[11:09] ---
    You two hurry on ahead to the scene!
[11:12] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:13] ---
    Saving lives is your top priority!
[11:16] ---
    Roger!
[11:24] ---
    "Ueno District Courthouse"
[11:33] ---
    I am your lawyer! I'm on your side, right?
[11:38] ---
    That's right. As a firefighter,
    I used to save people like this.
[11:45] ---
    I just saved your life.
[11:48] ---
    One might say that it now
    belongs to me, right?
[11:55] ---
    That means I can do
    whatever I want with you, right?
[12:02] ---
    Stop that!
[12:03] ---
    God have mercy!
[12:08] ---
    What the hell--
[12:13] ---
    What the hell--
[12:18] ---
    What the hell is your problem?!
[12:20] ---
    Because of you, Mamoru-kun got
    hoorayed up into a tree!
[12:24] ---
    Yeah!
[12:26] ---
    Huh? That's your beef?
[12:28] ---
    Ah, so you're Special Fire Soldiers.
[12:32] ---
    You're a murderous gang of
    bogus helper-men, aren't you?
[12:35] ---
    How nice. I'm a bit jealous.
[12:39] ---
    We're here, too!
[12:41] ---
    Sputter Comet!
[12:45] ---
    Sputter Comet-san!
[12:47] ---
    He really is speaking, huh?
    Is his sense of self intact?
[12:51] ---
    When one's attachment to
    life and will is strong enough,
[12:54] ---
    their character in life still remains,
[12:57] ---
    but I've never seen it go this far.
[12:59] ---
    So there's no way to escape, eh?
    All right! I surrender!
[13:05] ---
    What?
[13:06] ---
    If you're not a murderous gang,
    then you'll let me off, right?
[13:10] ---
    I was found not guilty at my trial.
    You can't very well kill me. Right?
[13:19] ---
    Unfortunately, I'm not so good-natured
    as to pardon scum like you.
[13:26] ---
    You really are a gang of murderers!
[13:33] ---
    Damn.
[13:35] ---
    I'm gonna go around killing people
    the way you guys kill Infernals!
[13:40] ---
    Captain Obi!
[13:41] ---
    After him, Shinra! You're the only one
    who can catch up to him!
[13:46] ---
    But, sir, he's... self-aware.
[13:49] ---
    He's no longer human.
    I know how you feel, but...
[13:54] ---
    Captain...
[13:57] ---
    Shinra...
[13:59] ---
    ...pay no heed to what he says.
[14:02] ---
    Dispose of him.
[14:05] ---
    Okay, get going!
[14:06] ---
    Yes, sir!
[14:09] ---
    Dispose of... Put to rest...
    someone who's self-aware...
[14:17] ---
    Hinawa, I'm sorry.
[14:20] ---
    It's okay.
[14:21] ---
    Please always remain our shining light.
[14:26] ---
    "Taito-ku, Ueno"

[14:28] ---
    "13:54:47"
[14:29] ---
    "13:54:48"
[14:31] ---
    If I don't do this, other innocent people
    are going to get hurt.
[14:37] ---
    I'll do it!
[14:40] ---
    I'll put him to rest!
[14:46] ---
    "Taito-ku, Akihabara"
[14:52] ---
    It's an Infernal!
[14:53] ---
    --Get away from him!
    --This city is almost like a toy box.
    Who should I play with?
[14:56] ---
    --This city is almost like a toy box.
    Who should I play with?
[15:12] ---
    Interrupt my good time, will you?
[15:15] ---
    Do you have any idea how many people
    I rescued in my firefighter days?
[15:19] ---
    You can't fault me for killing a few of them
    in my Infernal days, right?
[15:24] ---
    You killed them during your
    firefighter days, too, didn't you?
[15:27] ---
    Can't you do addition
    and subtraction, you idiot?
[15:31] ---
    Those don't balance out
    the number I saved, you idiot!
[15:48] ---
    Who is this guy?
[15:54] ---
    What is your deal, man?
[15:59] ---
    Y-You're the devil...
[16:05] ---
    Wrong.
[16:06] ---
    I'm a hero!
[16:08] ---
    "Onoden"
[16:12] ---
    Observed a second Adolla Burst
    from the subject rookie.
[16:18] ---
    That rookie is the real jackpot.
[16:20] ---
    But it would be a waste to extinguish
    an Infernal with a sense of self.
[16:25] ---
    Move to retrieve him!
[16:27] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
[16:30] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[16:33] ---
    W-Wait! Hold on a second!
[16:36] ---
    I can't offer a sister's prayer,
    but this is good enough for you.
[16:40] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[16:42] ---
    I-I'm still afraid to die!
[16:44] ---
    At least let my end be met with
    a sister's prayer of peace! Please!
[16:53] ---
    Aw, what the hell. The sister and the others
    are probably headed here now.
[16:58] ---
    Until they get here, stay still and repent.
[17:01] ---
    Yeah, I'll do that.
[17:10] ---
    Irredeemable scum.
[17:12] ---
    Damn you! Hero my ass!
[17:16] ---
    Shut up! You shut your mouth!
    I'm putting you to rest!
[17:30] ---
    Special Fire Force Company 5
    Captain, Princess Hibana.
SIGN    "Captain" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Princess Hibana"
[17:39] ---
    The 5th will dispose of this Infernal.
[17:42] ---
    Hey, what is this?! Let me go!
[17:46] ---
    Take him away!
[17:47] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[17:48] ---
    Hold it! The 8th is putting him to rest!
[17:51] ---
    Don't try to swoop in
    and do whatever you feel like!
[17:53] ---
    I am a captain. Are you defying me?
[17:57] ---
    You are not my superior!
[18:06] ---
    Damn it.
[18:08] ---
    What the hell did you do?
[18:10] ---
    You low-level 8th gravel grit.
[18:13] ---
    Gravel should lie spread on
    the ground like gravel.
[18:17] ---
    None of the crunch, crunch,
    crunch of your fussing.
[18:19] ---
    The only time you make a sound
    is when I step on you, gravel grit.
[18:25] ---
    Lick it.
[18:27] ---
    You people at the 5th are
    a bit domineering, aren't you?
[18:31] ---
    I said lick it.
[18:33] ---
    I'm speaking to you seriously!
[18:44] ---
    Hold him down!
[18:47] ---
    --5th's Angels Three, on the scene!
    --5th's Angels Three, on the scene!
[18:54] ---
    Out of the way! Move!
[19:02] ---
    Hey! Fire Soldiers are supposed to
    keep the people safe, right?
[19:06] ---
    What are you guys at the 5th doing?!
[19:09] ---
    It's one kid who fell on his caboose.
    It's not like he got burned.
[19:20] ---
    You'd even joke about burning a kid, lady?
[19:25] ---
    Ho...
[19:26] ---
    Let me show you what a Fire Soldier is.
[19:29] ---
    Bring it on, 5th!
[19:32] ---
    I, Shinra Kusakabe, Second Class Fire Soldier
    from the 8th, will take you on!
[19:37] ---
    This ought to be good.
[19:45] ---
    Shinra!
[19:52] ---
    It's unusual for an Infernal to be
    as self-aware as this one.
[19:56] ---
    It would also be a waste
    to dispose of him like this.
[19:59] ---
    The 5th will secure him.
[20:02] ---
    This is the 8th's jurisdiction.
[20:04] ---
    Don't you think you're being
    a bit presumptuous?
[20:06] ---
    The moment he Infernalized,
    he became officially deceased,
[20:10] ---
    and putting him to rest
    will return him to ashes.
[20:13] ---
    That being the case, I see no problem
    in taking his body in as-is.
[20:18] ---
    Besides, the 8th is a new facility;
[20:21] ---
    I understand you don't even
    have a science team.
[20:23] ---
    This is a precious specimen.
[20:26] ---
    Wouldn't taking him back to the 5th
    represent an important step
[20:29] ---
    toward solving the mystery
    of human combustion?
[20:34] ---
    You intend to share the results
    of your investigation with us, yes?
[20:38] ---
    Absolutely I will!
[20:44] ---
    Very well.
[20:46] ---
    The 5th can take over from here.
[20:49] ---
    Whoo, how lame.
[20:52] ---
    Huh?
SIGN    "Second Class Fire Soldier" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Toru Kishiri"
[20:57] ---
    The captain of the 8th
    is a no-talent nobody, right?
[21:02] ---
    Seriously lame.
[21:05] ---
    --What did you say?!
    --You wanna go?!
[21:07] ---
    Now Captain Nobody's flunkies are
    butting in. Second-class nobodies.
[21:11] ---
    --Shinra! Arthur!
    --Why, you! I'll teach you!
    --You're screwing with the wrong man!
[21:14] ---
    --Why, you! I'll teach you!
    --You're screwing with the wrong man!
[21:32] ---
    Obi, if a Fire Soldier starts
    sticking his nose in too deep,
[21:38] ---
    it won't be the fire, but himself,
    that gets extinguished.
[21:42] ---
    You don't say. So I'm blowing smoke
    in others' faces, am I?
[21:47] ---
    Then again,
[21:49] ---
    the flames of the 8th
    won't be put out so easily.
[22:06] ---
    Special Fire Force Company 5,
    we're heading home!

[22:22] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[22:25] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[22:28] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[22:32] ---
    are not enough to save you
[22:47] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[22:51] ---
    between sights we never reach
[22:54] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[22:57] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[23:01] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[23:04] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[23:08] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[23:13] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[23:17] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[23:20] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[23:23] ---
    are not enough to save you
[23:26] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[23:29] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[23:32] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[23:36] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[23:39] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[23:42] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere

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

[00:02] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:09] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:32] ---
    Pardon the intrusion!
[00:38] ---
    This is a great chance to see how far
    I can go up against a company captain.
[00:47] ---
    But I don't see any chance of winning
    unless I can deal with that ability.
[00:50] ---
    You're not getting through.
[00:52] ---
    --5th Angels Three!
    --5th Angels Three!

    --Three on three!
    --Three on three!
[01:12] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[01:13] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[01:17] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[01:20] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[01:22] ---
    The end is illuminated
[01:24] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[01:27] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[01:30] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[01:32] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[01:37] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[01:44] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[01:49] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[01:55] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[01:59] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[02:05] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[02:10] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[02:13] ---
    and magic that chases pain away

    "Episode 6:
    The Spark of Promise"
[02:57] ---
    Iris, sit there and watch your allies
    from the 8th get burned up.
[03:03] ---
    Why, nee-san?!
[03:05] ---
    Go ahead and pray to the God
    of salvation you favor so much.
[03:08] ---
    In this world, you either burn or get burned.
[03:11] ---
    I'm someone in the "burn" camp.
[03:15] ---
    You saw the other nuns engulfed in
    flames and disintegrating in misery.
[03:34] ---
    Luckily for me, my third-generation
    abilities manifested.
[03:38] ---
    I took up with those who burn.
[03:40] ---
    I will burn gravel lesser than myself
    to cinders until they are consumed,
[03:44] ---
    and stand on their ashes to rise even higher.
[03:48] ---
    That is what mankind's happiness is.
[03:51] ---
    Whatever you gain from doing that
    can never be called happiness--
[03:54] ---
    You're just spouting your platitudes,
    waiting to be burned up!
[04:00] ---
    You leave the sister alone!
[04:05] ---
    The hero has arrived.
[04:08] ---
    I'll start by burning him up.
    Stay there and watch.
[04:12] ---
    Shinra-san, run! As strong as you are,
    you can't beat the captain!
[04:17] ---
    It's all right, Sister.
[04:22] ---
    Things aren't gonna go like last time.
[04:24] ---
    Gravel,
[04:26] ---
    you haven't forgotten, have you?
    You can't lay a finger on me.
[04:32] ---
    We'll never know unless I try.
[04:39] ---
    Shinra-san!
[04:40] ---
    Once again, you're on the ground.
    You really are gravel!
[04:45] ---
    Damn, I'm so lightheaded...
[04:51] ---
    Wh-What is this...?
[04:54] ---
    Heat syncope.
[04:56] ---
    Heat syncope...?
[04:58] ---
    Your body is currently enveloped
    in heat of my making.
[05:03] ---
    What?
[05:04] ---
    That heat is making your blood vessels
    dilate and your pressure drop.
[05:08] ---
    The blood flowing to your
    brain has fallen sharply.
[05:12] ---
    That's making you lightheaded.
[05:14] ---
    For someone who showed up so
    enthusiastic about being a hero
[05:17] ---
    to stumble and fall over a
    little heat wave is laughable.
[05:27] ---
    Lightheaded?
[05:29] ---
    Oh...
[05:32] ---
    Then I've got this whole
    situation wrong, don't I?
[05:40] ---
    What do you have wrong?
[05:42] ---
    You really are unsteady on your feet, right?
[05:46] ---
    The palpitations, shortness of breath,
    and dizziness are all in my head!
[05:50] ---
    Looks to me like you're just
    grinning and bearing it.
[05:53] ---
    Besides, the biggest illusion you're under
    is believing that you're a hero, isn't it?
[06:05] ---
    Right now, I'm lightheaded
    in reality, and in my mind.
[06:09] ---
    So misguided or not, I can be a hero, too.
[06:14] ---
    Ridiculous. There's no way
    you should be able to stand.
[06:17] ---
    Compared to the drills Lieutenant Hinawa
    put me through, this is nothing.
[06:25] ---
    Fine, then. It's no fun burning up
    an opponent who can't fight back.
[06:29] ---
    Clematis!
[06:32] ---
    You can be immolated by my red-hot flowers.
[06:35] ---
    Nee-san, you can't still be--
[06:37] ---
    Keep quiet and watch.
[06:47] ---
    Princess Hibana, aren't you the one
    laboring under the wrong assumption?
[06:52] ---
    What?
[06:53] ---
    Yeah. Tonight...
[06:58] ---
    ...I'm Deluded-Lady-Wakeup-Call Man!
[07:01] ---
    You're saying I'm mistaken?
[07:04] ---
    Could be. That's just the
    way it looks from here.
[07:10] ---
    Screw you!
[07:31] ---
    So your dizziness is all in your head, is it?
[07:33] ---
    You still haven't recovered your sense
    of balance, and you're staggering around!
[07:41] ---
    Damn it!
[07:42] ---
    How can you call yourself a hero like this?
[07:45] ---
    Let me open your eyes and
    show you how pathetic you are.
[07:57] ---
    Sakura!
[08:19] ---
    Writhe! Dance!
[08:21] ---
    Stop this already, nee-san!
[08:22] ---
    If you want me to stop,
    go ahead and pray to God!
[08:26] ---
    You do know, don't you, that there is no God,
    let alone heroes, in this world?
[08:31] ---
    That's not true.
[08:33] ---
    If you pray with all your heart,
    you can find comfort,
[08:37] ---
    and people have been saved by it!
[08:38] ---
    That's not real salvation!
[08:41] ---
    Then are you saying
    there is no salvation in life?
[08:45] ---
    Yeah, there is.
[08:47] ---
    Exploiting and outsmarting
    others for your own success,
[08:51] ---
    and looking down on the
    foolish slugs from above.
[08:54] ---
    What you see from up there is
    impotent gravel, gravel, gravel!
[08:59] ---
    It's fantastic knowing that you
    weren't scum, and were saved.
[09:05] ---
    The standing and money you get from
    being there is a person's salvation.
[09:09] ---
    How so?! You prayed with us
    every day at the convent, remember?
[09:14] ---
    Sure I did. And what
    salvation came as a result?
[09:24] ---
    The convent took in all of us orphans.
[09:32] ---
    Every day, we devoted ourselves to God.
[09:35] ---
    Amid all of it, I was the only one
    who didn't take it seriously.
[09:40] ---
    And then, that day...
[09:48] ---
    ...the other sisters suddenly burned up.
[09:51] ---
    All of them, except you and me.
[09:56] ---
    They were all devout nuns,
    who served God better than I did.
[10:01] ---
    You realize, don't you,
    that nothing ever comes of our lives.
[10:06] ---
    The fact that I'm still alive
    like this is proof above all else!
[10:12] ---
    People can only grow stronger
    for their own ends.
[10:15] ---
    Seeking salvation without growing stronger?
[10:18] ---
    You might as well ask for the moon, too!
[10:23] ---
    The fact that lowly gravel seeks
    salvation with everyone else
[10:27] ---
    is misplaced in its own right.
[10:31] ---
    Princess Hibana, you're a victim
    of the flames, too, aren't you?
[10:36] ---
    Are you still here, you would-be hero?
[10:41] ---
    I have a little bit of
    an idea of how you feel.
[10:45] ---
    I'm someone whose life was
    messed up by flames, too.
[10:49] ---
    What can you hope to know?
[10:53] ---
    Sakura Blizzard!
[11:03] ---
    This time, bow down on the
    ground like the gravel you are!
[11:15] ---
    I can't let myself collapse here.
[11:20] ---
    The heat syncope...
[11:22] ---
    I will get back up as often as it takes,
    and each time, I won't be beaten.
[11:27] ---
    For your sake.
[11:31] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
    Are you losing your mind?!
[11:34] ---
    Listen to me.
[11:36] ---
    I'm about to lay you out.
    That, along with all the rest of this...
[11:41] ---
    ...is for your own good!
[11:46] ---
    If you want what's good for me,
    then burn up, already!
[11:50] ---
    You piece of know-nothing gravel,
    you're spewing nonsense!
[11:53] ---
    There are flames that burn the body...
[11:56] ---
    ...but there are also flames that light
    the way, and flames that warm you up!
[12:00] ---
    There's no such things
    as heroes in this world!
[12:04] ---
    Well, it's because there are
    no heroes in this world...
[12:09] ---
    ...that I'm telling you I'm gonna be a hero!
[12:14] ---
    I am... Deluded-Lady...
[12:18] ---
    ...Wakeup-Call Man!
[12:43] ---
    Wow, how pretty!
[12:45] ---
    That's amazing, Sister Hibana.
[12:48] ---
    Watch this, Sister Clematis.
[12:52] ---
    When I add a little sodium solution,
    the flames react to it.
[13:02] ---
    It turned yellow!
[13:04] ---
    This one is copper.
[13:12] ---
    Watch this, Sister Sakura.
[13:14] ---
    Calcium.
[13:21] ---
    I also have potassium,
    and strontium, and some others.
[13:27] ---
    How pretty!
[13:29] ---
    They all look so great!
[13:31] ---
    What do you think? Flames are
    incredibly pretty, aren't they?
[13:35] ---
    Yes!
[13:36] ---
    Sister Hibana, I want to be like you.
[13:39] ---
    You can control flames,
    and you're good at science.
[13:54] ---
    Iris! Don't hide behind there,
[13:57] ---
    come here and have a closer look.
[14:12] ---
    Careful. They may be in the shape
    of flowers, but they're still flames.
[14:17] ---
    You'll get burned.
[14:21] ---
    See here!
[14:23] ---
    Sister Hibana, are you playing
    with your pyrokinesis again?
[14:28] ---
    Come now, everyone, into the chapel.
[14:32] ---
    Yes, Sister Sumire.
[14:36] ---
    You, too, Sister Hibana.
[14:38] ---
    That ability was bestowed
    upon you by the great Sol.
[14:42] ---
    Moreover, if you mishandle those
    flames, it can be very dangerous.
[14:47] ---
    I'm being careful with
    them, so it's all right.
[14:50] ---
    There you go, saying that again.
[14:53] ---
    Head inside, now.
[14:56] ---
    Okay.
[15:07] ---
    Um, Sister Hibana...
[15:11] ---
    I, uh...
[15:13] ---
    What?
[15:15] ---
    I, uh... I, uh...
[15:24] ---
    I want you to show me
    the flowers again sometime.
[15:36] ---
    I'll show them to you once you
    get over your shyness.
[15:41] ---
    Do you mean it?
[15:54] ---
    The sound of someone's
    body burning; that person's cries;
[15:58] ---
    the pain of the flames; the suffering,
    as their life burns away...
[16:06] ---
    What do you think? Flames are
    incredibly pretty, aren't they?
[16:13] ---
    As if...
[16:16] ---
    flames could be pretty...
[16:23] ---
    Let's go. We have to get away,
    or we'll burn up, too.
[16:43] ---
    As if this ability were
    bestowed by the great Sol.
[16:47] ---
    Flames are the devil himself, aren't they?
[16:51] ---
    And since I'm able to use that power...
[16:54] ---
    A devil should act like a devil.
[16:58] ---
    Nee-san...
[17:01] ---
    ...where are you going?
[17:04] ---
    Iris...
[17:09] ---
    Don't get yourself burned up by flames.
[17:17] ---
    I'll exploit them--people,
    flames, and whatever else.
[17:22] ---
    "Haijima Industries"
[17:27] ---
    That's just a little slice. I'll turn it
    all over, on certain conditions.
[17:32] ---
    I want the rank of captain.
    And you'll provide me
[17:36] ---
    with the platform and funding
    to carry on my experiments.
[17:50] ---
    Why?
[17:54] ---
    When everyone at the convent
    had no one else to turn to,
[17:57] ---
    you were the one we looked up to.
[17:59] ---
    You were beautiful, and smart,
    and you could control flames.
[18:04] ---
    When we were lonely and anxious,
    you were our hero.
[18:13] ---
    I didn't have anyone. The only thing
    that propped me up were my flames.
[18:19] ---
    But then, even they turned on me.
[18:32] ---
    I don't have anything now.
[18:43] ---
    You've got a hero, right here.
[18:48] ---
    Look up to the skies and cry out my name!
    I'll come save you anytime!
[18:56] ---
    Don't be absurd.
    What makes you obliged to help me?
[19:02] ---
    I don't need to be obliged.
[19:04] ---
    When someone is in trouble, I go help them.
    That's what a hero does, right?
[19:16] ---
    Whatever the case, you beat me.
    I don't intend to fight you anymore.
[19:22] ---
    "Ping ping"
[19:27] ---
    You think I've overcome my shyness a little?
[19:33] ---
    For crying out loud, Iris.
[19:36] ---
    After you come waltzing into
    this place all on your own?
[19:41] ---
    I just wanted you to show me
    your pretty flowers again.
[19:48] ---
    I did promise you, didn't I?
[19:57] ---
    Are those...?
[19:59] ---
    Yeah. Irises.
[20:05] ---
    Nee-san, I love you!
[20:11] ---
    "To be continued"
[20:16] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[20:19] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[20:22] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[20:26] ---
    are not enough to save you
[20:41] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[20:45] ---
    between sights we never reach
[20:48] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[20:51] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[20:55] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[20:58] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[21:02] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[21:07] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[21:11] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[21:14] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[21:17] ---
    are not enough to save you
[21:20] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[21:23] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[21:26] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[21:30] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[21:33] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[21:36] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[21:51] ---
    The guy in glasses... The guy in glasses...
[21:54] ---
    Looks like you've gone around
    doing a real number on us, 8th.
[21:58] ---
    --Lieutenant Hinawa.
    --Lieutenant Hinawa.
[22:02] ---
    How am I going to explain this
    whole mess to the higher-ups,
[22:05] ---
    or to the gravel still sprawled out all over?
[22:08] ---
    Captain Obi was apparently
    going to make it look
[22:11] ---
    like it was a joint nighttime
    training exercise.
[22:14] ---
    But you charged in before
    that could happen, right?
[22:18] ---
    If you keep that up all the time,
    you're going to mess up sooner or later.
[22:23] ---
    I just had a great idea!
[22:25] ---
    What if the 5th and the 8th
    all had a dinner party together?
[22:30] ---
    Th-That might be a bit much.
[22:32] ---
    Indeed. That sounds pretty good.
[22:35] ---
    Huh?
[22:37] ---
    Sometimes, when you're
    trying to game someone,
[22:39] ---
    the more ridiculous the method,
    the easier it is to succeed.
[22:42] ---
    I'll say that in order to test
    the 5th's fighting strength,
[22:44] ---
    I asked the 8th to play the bad guys
    and stage a surprise attack drill.
[22:50] ---
    Shinra, I'd like to set this up,
    so round up the 8th's people for me.
[22:56] ---
    You sure are being cooperative, huh?
[23:02] ---
    Well... I've taken a liking to you...
[23:07] ---
    Huh?
[23:13] ---
    Chief, we're ahead of schedule,
    but we've begun our investigation of the 5th.
[23:18] ---
    Things may get a little aggressive,
    so please lay the groundwork elsewhere.
[23:35] ---
    Come in. Hinawa?
[23:38] ---
    Yeah, I've been bogged down
    getting this off the ground.
[23:41] ---
    I'm on my way to you now.
[23:44] ---
    Huh?
[23:46] ---
    It's over?

    The 8th and the 5th have carried
    out a joint training exercise.
[01:07] ---
    It seems overly contrived.
[01:11] ---
    So Obi is finally making his move.
[01:20] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[01:21] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[01:25] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[01:28] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[01:30] ---
    The end is illuminated
[01:32] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[01:35] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[01:38] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[01:40] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[01:45] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[01:52] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[01:57] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[02:03] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[02:07] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[02:13] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[02:18] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[02:21] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[02:24] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[02:29] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say

    Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
    so much for coming and taking part
[03:08] ---
    in the job-well-done party for the
    nighttime joint 5th and 8th exercise
[03:12] ---
    that was carried out the other night.
[03:15] ---
    --The result of the exercise was
    Captain Hibana throwing a fit<br>[03:15] ---
    --Ah, are we about to get chewed out again?
[03:18] ---
    --as to how soft the 5th really is.
[03:18] ---
    --Don't sound so happy about it.
[03:23] ---
    Scumwad.
[03:26] ---
    Gravel does not speak--does not
    even breathe without permission!
[03:29] ---
    You gravel grit!
[03:30] ---
    Right, Shinra?
[03:32] ---
    Crunch...
[03:33] ---
    We appreciate you taking on a
    weaker company such as ourselves...
[03:41] ---
    Go ahead.
[03:42] ---
    O-Okay.
[03:47] ---
    There we are.

[03:54] ---
    Die, will-o-wisps!
[03:56] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?!
[03:58] ---
    The lieutenant told me that if you
    play with fire, I was to kill them.
[04:02] ---
    This is an informal party!
[04:07] ---
    Látom.
[04:20] ---
    All right, so you're saying we have
    the 5th's full cooperation?
[04:24] ---
    Not the 5th; me, personally.
[04:27] ---
    The 5th may be a subsidiary outfit,
    but it is paired with Haijima.
[04:31] ---
    At present, it would be hard for the 8th
    to confront Haijima head-on.
[04:36] ---
    You were going to lead off
    by exposing our research data
[04:39] ---
    and bringing down the 5th, right?
[04:42] ---
    Yeah, well...
[04:44] ---
    How did you come by your intel on the 5th?
[04:47] ---
    Were Iris's actions
    something you factored in?
[04:50] ---
    No, of course not. However,
    she was my ace card against you.
[04:59] ---
    Playing innocent, huh?
    I don't appreciate that.
[05:03] ---
    I doubt a musclebound gorilla like yourself
[05:05] ---
    could understand the 5th's research.
[05:08] ---
    Just be grateful that I'm working with you.
[05:14] ---
    Why the change of heart?
[05:17] ---
    I went through an incident that
    made me despair of flames.
[05:21] ---
    The more I learned about
    this land--about this world,
[05:24] ---
    the more I couldn't help
    but grow more perverse.
[05:27] ---
    And by growing more perverse,
[05:28] ---
    I wanted to believe that I was
    becoming stronger, and smarter.
[05:33] ---
    That if I was to oppose
    this crapfest of a world,
[05:35] ---
    I had no choice but to fight evil with evil.
[05:39] ---
    But then,
[05:40] ---
    when I got clobbered by Shinra,
    the self-professed hero, I remembered.
[05:46] ---
    The warmth of flames. The
    tenderness of justice.
[05:51] ---
    I was put in touch once again with the
    ideal of fighting the evil in the world.
[05:56] ---
    Then, Princess, Shinra was a hero to you?
[06:00] ---
    N-No, nothing of the sort at all!
[06:04] ---
    He's our vaunted hero of the 8th.
[06:07] ---
    I'm sure he'll bring to light the darkness
    of a world held captive by flames.
[06:14] ---
    Investigating each company and
    pursuing the mystery of the flames
[06:17] ---
    is the objective of the 8th, then?
[06:19] ---
    Yeah. That's the reason why we
    came by to steal the 5th's data.
[06:23] ---
    We heard that you'd come across
    something in your research
[06:26] ---
    that would explain the cause
    of human combustion.
[06:29] ---
    Is that true?
[06:32] ---
    Yeah. You can understand why I
    would become a devil, too, right?
[06:37] ---
    There's someone who is
    deliberately creating Infernals.
[06:41] ---
    Of course, not all spontaneous
    human combustion in the world is such.
[06:47] ---
    But there were some samples among my research
[06:49] ---
    that were clearly different from the others.
[06:52] ---
    So there really is someone out there
    causing human combustion.
[06:56] ---
    There's no way that stands.
    I swear we'll find them!
[07:01] ---
    My friends... the sisters, burned up.
[07:06] ---
    If that was done at somebody's hand...
[07:10] ---
    ...then I swear, in the name of St. John's
    wort and the malice it symbolizes,
[07:14] ---
    that I will find them and burn them
    by any means necessary.
[07:21] ---
    Our objective is the same, then.
[07:24] ---
    Hmm, much as I hate to admit it.
[07:27] ---
    But your investigation is only
    going to get harder from here.
[07:31] ---
    How do you mean?
[07:33] ---
    The Infernals that I suspect have
    appeared by human means
[07:36] ---
    are all concentrated around
    the Shinjuku District.
[07:39] ---
    That's... the 1st's jurisdiction.
[07:42] ---
    "Episode 7:
    The Investigation of the 1st Commences"
[07:54] ---
    Nee-san, why are you at the 8th?
[07:59] ---
    To make sure you grew up right, Iris.
[08:02] ---
    Hey, that was a dirty move!
[08:04] ---
    How rude. My body is nice and clean.
[08:08] ---
    That isn't what I meant!
[08:10] ---
    Must be nice for you two,
    having girlish, willowy figures.
[08:15] ---
    And you have a nicely-trained,
    beautiful body, don't you?
[08:20] ---
    Heh, heh, I-I do?
[08:26] ---
    Nee-san,
[08:27] ---
    you're about to do something
    dangerous again, aren't you?
[08:30] ---
    Yeah. I'm working together
    with you to investigate the 1st.
[08:35] ---
    It could mean war.
[08:41] ---
    An undercover investigation of the 1st
[08:43] ---
    using the rookie training
    reassignment system?
[08:46] ---
    That's pretty good thinking,
    for a gorilla, Obi.
[08:49] ---
    The rookie training reassignment system
[08:51] ---
    is one that allows crew members
    in their first year of service
[08:55] ---
    to be temporarily assigned to other
    companies to broaden their experience.
[08:58] ---
    I'm going to have you two do an
    undercover investigation of the 1st.
[09:02] ---
    An undercover investigation
    of the 1st? Arthur and me?
[09:06] ---
    Within the 1st's jurisdiction,
[09:08] ---
    there may be someone who is
    artificially creating Infernals.
[09:14] ---
    We want you to come up
    with any leads you can.
[09:16] ---
    It's an important mission to
    help us crack human combustion.
[09:20] ---
    I'm counting on both of you.
[09:23] ---
    If there really is someone causing
    human combustion, they'll pay for it.
[09:28] ---
    It may seem unnatural if
    there are only men from the 8th.
[09:32] ---
    I'll send someone from my company, too.
[09:34] ---
    I'll hit up other companies
    I have connections with, too.
[09:43] ---
    "Special Fire Grand Cathedral 1--
    The Holy Sol Obelisk"
[09:47] ---
    So this is the Holy Sol Obelisk.
    It's even bigger than I imagined.
[09:52] ---
    We could still climb it.
[09:58] ---
    This is lame.
[09:59] ---
    I'm not sure I'm worthy
    to enter the sacred 1st.
[10:03] ---
    Who are they?
[10:05] ---
    They're camouflage.
    Make nice with them, okay?
[10:12] ---
    Thank you for taking us on.
[10:26] ---
    So you're the trainee newbies?
[10:29] ---
    Sheesh, I bet even your crap is crap.
    Are you crappy, you crap?
[10:38] ---
    "I bet even your crap is crap."
[10:40] ---
    "Are you crappy, you crap?"
[10:45] ---
    It sounds like he's trying to berate us,
[10:47] ---
    but he's just calling crap "crap."
[10:51] ---
    You've got the ass of an ass.
    An ass should ass like an ass,
[10:56] ---
    you ass!
[10:57] ---
    What was that?!
[10:58] ---
    Easy! He's just saying your ass is an ass.
[11:08] ---
    Captain Burns is expecting you. Follow me.
[11:14] ---
    Burns of the 1st--the man who knows
    about the fire 12 years ago.
[11:21] ---
    That fire...
[11:24] ---
    This is the Grand Cathedral.
[11:26] ---
    If it was actually caused by someone...
[11:38] ---
    Welcome to the 1st. I'm happy to have you.
[11:43] ---
    ...I'm one step closer.
[11:54] ---
    Good grief, military fatigues
    in the Grand Cathedral?
[11:57] ---
    They're guests. Go easy on them.
[12:00] ---
    First Class Fire Soldier
    Maki Oze, from the 8th!
[12:04] ---
    I have brought the new recruits for training!
[12:07] ---
    While this is a formal function,
    we're still in the Grand Cathedral.
[12:10] ---
    Forgive me for asking, but I'd prefer
    that you tent hands, rather than salute.
[12:18] ---
    Please excuse us!
[12:21] ---
    Lieutenant Flam, Lieutenant Hoshimiya,
    and Lieutenant Li, of the 1st.
[12:27] ---
    They are going to be taking care of you.
[12:33] ---
    After you've looked around
    the facility today,
[12:34] ---
    relax and make yourselves at home.
[12:37] ---
    Captain Burns, if I may?
[12:42] ---
    I realize this is sudden, but in order to
    have you assess our abilities,
[12:46] ---
    I would like to ask you to
    take us on in some sparring.
[12:49] ---
    Shinra! What are you talking about?!
[12:52] ---
    We are aware of your abilities from
    the paperwork we received on you.
[12:55] ---
    That will not be necessary.
[12:57] ---
    That's all right. Rekka,
    let them practice on you, too.
[13:01] ---
    Huh? Do you mean it?!
[13:03] ---
    Rekka, we're in the Grand Cathedral.
[13:07] ---
    Shinra, what do you think you're doing?
[13:09] ---
    Just a light jab.
[13:12] ---
    If I can beat you, there's something
    I'd like to ask you.
[13:17] ---
    Fine with me.
[13:27] ---
    Hmm, I can't help but worry.
[13:32] ---
    You've already sent them out.
    Now please, calm down.
[13:36] ---
    Be that as it may, worrying is
    a captain's prerogative.
[13:40] ---
    "Organic"
[13:40] ---
    You're disrupting me.
[13:42] ---
    Hey! Take it easy! Get back to your duties!
[13:45] ---
    Why don't you head back to the 5th, ma'am?
[13:50] ---
    Man, that Shinra-- Just because he beat me,
[13:54] ---
    I hope he isn't too full of himself.
[13:57] ---
    You twerp!
[13:59] ---
    No sooner do you get here than
    you're sparring with the captain?!
[14:03] ---
    He's never even sparred with me before!
[14:11] ---
    If he hurts Lieutenant Rekka,
    I'll let him have it!
[14:18] ---
    I'm gonna do this, damn it!
    I'll make him spill everything he knows!
[14:23] ---
    Why do you suppose he has
    such a chip on his shoulder?
[14:26] ---
    He's so delighted to be at
    the 1st, he's all revved up.
[14:30] ---
    He's a high-spirited crewman, all right!
    I'm starting to get fired up!
[14:37] ---
    Who gets to go first?
[14:39] ---
    I'll start with the lowest-numbered company.
[14:43] ---
    There's no need to hold back.
    Put your full power on display for me.
[14:47] ---
    Does that mean...?
[14:54] ---
    Huh?! I have to go first?!
SIGN    "Second Class Fire Soldier" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Takeru Noto"
[15:04] ---
    I'm Lieutenant Hoshimiya.
    I'll be your opponent.
[15:09] ---
    Second Class Fire Soldier Takeru Noto.
[15:12] ---
    My family owns a jagaimo farm,
    so I got the nickname "Jaga Noto."
    
[15:16] ---
    Oh, as in "Juggernaut"!
[15:19] ---
    Let's have ourselves a heated match!
[15:21] ---
    F-Fire!
[15:24] ---
    Is he all right?
[15:29] ---
    There's fire coming from me, too!
    I'd like to get this fire put out!
[15:34] ---
    Nice! Not bad! That's your
    fervent passion, is it?
[15:38] ---
    It is so bad! It's utterly bad!
[15:43] ---
    It's hot!
[15:44] ---
    That's incredible, Juggernaut!
    Let me see the best flames you've got!
[15:50] ---
    It's getting a little too
    warm for comfort, huh?
[15:52] ---
    Are you sure this is a good idea, sir?
[15:54] ---
    I'll deal with any stray shots.
[15:55] ---
    See that you do, Karim.
[15:57] ---
    Sheesh, nuisances are really
    nuisances. What a nuisance.
[16:02] ---
    I'm simmering here! We Fire Soldiers
    have been waiting for talent like yours!
[16:07] ---
    Stop! Don't get me stirred up!
    I'm afraid of flames!
[16:12] ---
    I became a Fire Soldier so I could
    get my flames put out!
[16:15] ---
    This is what happens when
    you get me stirred up!
[16:18] ---
    This amount of heat is incredible!
    Every single shot is a juggernaut!
[16:23] ---
    Lieutenant Rekka!
[16:25] ---
    That's it! Fantastic! Just like that!
[16:31] ---
    Go easier on the easygoing, you easy-goer!
[16:34] ---
    I have you backing me up, don't I, Karim?
[16:40] ---
    --What the...?
    --He snuffed them out!
[16:45] ---
    Where did that tremendous energy come from?
[16:57] ---
    The flames got chilled out?
[17:02] ---
    Rekka!
[17:04] ---
    That would have hit the captain
    if I hadn't been here!
[17:07] ---
    And I trusted you to be here for me, Karim!
[17:17] ---
    The 1st has a Fire Soldier who
    produces not flames, but ice?
[17:21] ---
    Hm?
[17:22] ---
    What kind of nonsense is that?
    Show me a person can create ice!
[17:27] ---
    Then, that ice came from...?
[17:29] ---
    Thermo-Acoustic Cooling.
[17:31] ---
    It's a technique that converts
    the energy of flames into sound,
[17:33] ---
    and converts sound into cold.
[17:35] ---
    When you compress heat,
    you can convert it to sound.
[17:38] ---
    As sound abrades the air,
    in can be converted into cold.
[17:42] ---
    You're saying you can turn
    flame energy into sound and cold?
[17:46] ---
    Such a thing is really possible?
[17:58] ---
    There's someone within the 1st's jurisdiction
[18:00] ---
    who is artificially creating Infernals.
[18:03] ---
    Is the culprit among this bunch?
[18:06] ---
    Or, are they all in cahoots?
[18:15] ---
    All right, next!
[18:17] ---
    I never fight without a purpose,
    so you'll have to excuse me.
[18:22] ---
    I-I only have the abilities
    that you see in the paperwork,
[18:25] ---
    nothing more, nothing less,
    so I'll decline, too.
[18:29] ---
    That would make our next contestant...
[18:33] ---
    I will take you both on.
[18:37] ---
    Why is the captain letting them fight him?
[18:56] ---
    Bring it on.
[19:01] ---
    You won't be getting a turn.
    I will gallantly beat my opponent.
[19:06] ---
    The end.
[19:14] ---
    What are you planning to do with that hand?
[19:21] ---
    Come at me as hard as you can.
    Otherwise, this match will mean nothing.
[19:28] ---
    Don't blame me if you lose an arm.
[19:30] ---
    It will take more than that much flame
    to cut me. Set your mind at ease.
[19:35] ---
    "That much flame"? Arthur's Excalibur
    can cut through even steel.
[19:45] ---
    Don't come crying to me later!
[19:54] ---
    So you have a sword that never fails to kill.
    Don't you have any other moves?
[20:04] ---
    No way. Not even Maki
    could extinguish Excalibur.
[20:09] ---
    What are you waiting for?!
[20:11] ---
    Don't ease up on him!
[20:17] ---
    This crewman packs some
    amazing force, as well.
[20:33] ---
    This will kill you if you don't step aside!
[20:45] ---
    What?!
[20:49] ---
    Why did you become a Fire Soldier?
[20:52] ---
    My mother and brother died in a fire!
[20:55] ---
    I'm going to solve the mystery
    of human combustion,
[20:57] ---
    and make sure that kind
    of fire never happens again!
[21:00] ---
    It was to become a hero who could
    save the world from the flame terror!
[21:05] ---
    You have a long way to go.
[21:20] ---
    The 1st welcomes you. I hope you find
    this training enrollment fulfilling.
[21:27] ---
    Captain! Are you hurt?!
[21:37] ---
    There we go.
[21:38] ---
    I won't let your lucky lechery
    get triggered so easily, Tamaki.
[21:43] ---
    Lieutenant Rekka... I'm so sorry
    this always happens!
[21:53] ---
    I'll take charge of you guys from the 8th.
[21:56] ---
    You were no match for Captain Burns,
    but you two still did fairly fair.
[22:01] ---
    Of course we did.
[22:02] ---
    Thank you very much, sir.
[22:04] ---
    But whether your pace
    keeps you apace of this pace,
[22:07] ---
    or whether your pace does not
    keep you apace of this pace,
[22:09] ---
    is all up to you. Hang in there.
[22:14] ---
    Thank you very much, sir!
[22:15] ---
    
[22:17] ---
    
[22:18] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:19] ---
    
[22:22] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[22:25] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[22:28] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[22:32] ---
    are not enough to save you
[22:47] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[22:51] ---
    between sights we never reach
[22:54] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[22:57] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[23:01] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[23:04] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[23:08] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[23:13] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[23:17] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[23:20] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[23:23] ---
    are not enough to save you
[23:26] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[23:29] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[23:32] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[23:36] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[23:39] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[23:42] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[23:51] ---

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

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

[00:07] ---
    Your Excellency, there is no need
    for you to appear personally.
[00:10] ---
    While this situation can certainly not
    be ignored, you can allow us to...
[00:13] ---
    It's all right. Assemble the captains
    from all the companies.
[00:27] ---
    Goodness.
[00:28] ---
    What have we here?
[00:30] ---
    "Muscle-brain" "Gorilla"
    "Give Shinra a raise!!!"
[00:40] ---
    Shinra!
[00:41] ---
    My locker has been violated again!
    Enough, already!
[00:45] ---
    I didn't do anything, sir!
[00:47] ---
    Shinra is eating the lunch that
    I made for him. Don't interrupt.
[00:53] ---
    Is this your doing again? What is the
    captain of the 5th even doing here?
[00:59] ---
    I was going to go to the captains'
    conference together with you.
[01:05] ---
    D-Don't get the wrong idea.
[01:06] ---
    When I bought the sweet roll to
    fill up on before the conference,
[01:09] ---
    I'd forgotten about my lunch.
[01:11] ---
    I couldn't eat it by myself,
    and it's a shame to waste it.
[01:14] ---
    So I had no choice but to give it to Shinra.
[01:16] ---
    That's not what I was asking about.
[01:19] ---
    Shinra!
[01:20] ---
    Do something about this girl!
[01:22] ---
    Huh? But, sir, the lunch is really good.
[01:25] ---
    Oh, yeah? It's good, is it?
[01:28] ---
    Damn it, she's baiting him.
[01:31] ---
    I'll treat you to as much ramen
    as you like sometime soon!
[01:34] ---
    Ramen, you say?
[01:36] ---
    I'm coming, too.
[01:38] ---
    What are you doing back?
[01:40] ---
    Huh?
[01:40] ---
    I'm coming, too.
[01:42] ---
    Captain, run!
[01:49] ---
    What happened to her "lucky"?
[01:53] ---
    Hey, Maki, do you want any--
[01:59] ---
    Hinawa, they're playing
    with fire inside the office.
[02:03] ---
    I need to confirm the route to Central.
[02:06] ---
    Stop it, you idiot! You skirt-devil!
[02:09] ---
    You did that yourself!
[02:10] ---
    Farewell, skirt-devil.
[02:13] ---
    There's a delicious bakery near here.
[02:15] ---
    Ah, nee-san, that's an old one.
    Of course we know of it.
[02:19] ---
    They just started selling something new,
    with strawberries on it!
[02:25] ---
    This place sure has gotten lively.
[02:35] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[02:36] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[02:40] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[02:43] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[02:45] ---
    The end is illuminated
[02:47] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[02:50] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[02:53] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[02:56] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[03:00] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[03:07] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:13] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[03:18] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[03:22] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[03:28] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[03:33] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[03:36] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[03:39] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[03:44] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:48] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[03:54] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[04:04] ---
    Are you sure it's okay for
    Tamaki and me to attend, sir?
[04:07] ---
    The topic of this conference
    is the Evangelist
[04:10] ---
    and the White-Clad organization.
[04:12] ---
    Having been directly involved,
    we're going to need your reports.
[04:16] ---
    Do all the captains meet together often?
[04:20] ---
    No, not once since I took command of the 8th.
[04:24] ---
    That should tell you
    how urgent a matter this is.
[04:38] ---
    Man-made Infernals...
[04:42] ---
    Direct hit on target.
    Hoshimiya has been eliminated.
[04:45] ---
    We'll report this to the commander.
    We're withdrawing.
[04:48] ---
    The White-Clad...
[04:50] ---
    Click!
[04:51] ---
    "Click!"
[04:51] ---
    Behold the brilliance of the star
    of flames ensconced in the heavens!
[04:55] ---
    We will return to the bosom of the great Sol!
[04:59] ---
    Turn all people into flames, and engulf
    the earth in the great flame of fire!
[05:05] ---
    Incinerate this imperfect earth and
    its humanity in the flames of salvation!
[05:09] ---
    All according to the will of the Evangelist.
[05:13] ---
    And the Evangelist...
[05:16] ---
    There's no doubt we're closing in on
    the cause behind Infernals appearing.
[05:24] ---
    Ah! Is that, by any chance...?
[05:29] ---
    What, Kusakabe, you've never seen it before?
[05:32] ---
    That's the power station that was built
    at the beginning of the Solar calendar.
[05:37] ---
    Amaterasu, the perpetual
    thermal energy plant.
[05:40] ---
    "The perpetual thermal
    energy plant Amaterasu"
[05:42] ---
    Amaterasu produces all
    of the energy for Tokyo.
[05:47] ---
    All from that one facility?
    It must have out-of-this-world firepower.
[06:00] ---
    Thanks for everything you did the other day.
[06:03] ---
    No, I should be the one to thank you.
[06:09] ---
    Company 1 Lieutenant Karim Flam.
[06:15] ---
    I heard all about what happened from Shinra.
[06:18] ---
    I want to learn the truth about Rekka.
    I intend to work with the 8th on that.
[06:24] ---
    I hear you're a capable man. Thanks.
[06:36] ---
    I thought you were supposed to
    be with Haijima, like me.
[06:41] ---
    What are you talking about?
[06:42] ---
    It looks to me like you're spending
    a lot of time with the 8th.
[06:46] ---
    Hmph, you're being ridiculous.
[06:50] ---
    The captains' conference is about to start.
[06:57] ---
    "Special Fire Force Company 1 Captain"
    "Leonard Burns"
[07:00] ---
    "Special Fire Force Company 2 Captain"
    "Gustav Honda"
[07:07] ---

    "Benimaru Shinmon"
[07:29] ---
    "Special Fire Force Company 8 Captain"
    "Akitaru Obi"
[07:39] ---
    The 7th is here, and they normally
    don't show up to anything.
[07:42] ---
    This really is a big deal.
[07:44] ---
    So that man is the renowned
    mightiest Fire Soldier of all?
[07:49] ---
    The 7th's captain...?
[07:51] ---
    What's so funny, you little brat?
[07:54] ---
    Waka...
[08:06] ---
    Hey, Kusakabe!
[08:10] ---
    Each company's captain seems to be here.
[08:16] ---
    "Tokyo Empire Emperor"
    "Raffles III"
[08:20] ---
    All right, let's begin this
    emergency conference.
[08:25] ---
    I've spoken with the
    general of the Tokyo Army
[08:27] ---
    and the chief of the Fire Defense Agency.
[08:30] ---
    They say that there are some who are
    acting in secret to threaten our nation.
[08:35] ---
    Their actions defile the divine protection
    granted to us by the great Sol.
[08:40] ---
    All companies of the Special Fire Force,
[08:43] ---
    you are to bring down
    the Evangelist as a traitor.
[08:46] ---
    "Great Sol" my ass. What a load.
[08:49] ---
    Benimaru Shinmon!
    Your disrespect is beyond the pale!
[08:53] ---
    Apologize to the emperor before the
    punishment of Gustav Honda befalls you!
[08:57] ---
    Shut up, Honda Gustav.
    My name is Shinmon Benimaru.
[09:02] ---
    A proto-national name...
[09:04] ---
    So you're a proto-nationalist.
[09:08] ---
    We in the 7th are a gang of idiots who
    used to just be the neighborhood watch.
[09:12] ---
    I don't remember swearing an oath
    of loyalty to the empire or to Sol.
[09:17] ---
    The 7th will do whatever we want.
[09:19] ---
    Hold it! We aren't finished talking yet!
[09:21] ---
    Stop right there!
[09:30] ---
    Ahem.
[09:32] ---
    In any case, all companies are to come
    together to pursue the Evangelist.
[09:40] ---
    This will indeed be the path to
    save humanity from the flame terror.
[09:44] ---
    You're getting closer, aren't you?
[09:48] ---
    Devil's Footprints...
[09:51] ---
    That was surprisingly quick.
    He's got some potential.
[09:56] ---
    Maybe I'll go and see him again.
[09:59] ---
    Shinra Kusakabe-kun...
[10:01] ---
    Yes, Your Excellency?
[10:03] ---
    I understand you possess an Adolla Burst.
[10:11] ---
    That is what Rekka Hoshimiya told me, sir.
[10:16] ---
    What exactly is an Adolla Burst?
[10:19] ---
    It is an unsullied, pure flame.
[10:23] ---
    The primordial flame, and the spark
    that Sol used when creating this world.
[10:28] ---
    Did you happen to see it on your way here?
[10:32] ---
    Amaterasu, the perpetual
    thermal energy plant.
[10:36] ---
    The source flame that provides all
    of the energy for the Tokyo Empire.
[10:41] ---
    That flame is no more or less
    than an Adolla Burst.
[10:54] ---
    The Evangelist is seeking
    to obtain Adolla Bursts.
[10:57] ---
    An Adolla Burst is a flame of high purity,
[11:01] ---
    but how it differs from a common flame
    cannot be scientifically explained.
[11:05] ---
    Could the Evangelist have discovered
    what the difference is?
[11:11] ---
    The Evangelist will be coming for Kusakabe.
[11:14] ---
    Shouldn't we keep him secured?
[11:16] ---
    Secured?! Please, sir, anything but that!
[11:19] ---
    Fire Soldiers are here to protect people!
[11:22] ---
    I can keep myself safe!
[11:24] ---
    The other companies ought not
    interfere with the 8th's matters.
[11:28] ---
    Each company should be devoting
    themselves to pursuing the Evangelist.
[11:35] ---
    The 3rd wants to make Shinra their specimen.
[11:39] ---
    The 8th accepts the responsibility
    to keep Kusakabe safe and secure.
[11:48] ---
    An Adolla Burst is a sacred flame of
    God's chosen. Take good care of it.
[11:55] ---
    Yes, Your Excellency!
[11:59] ---
    Goodness.
[12:02] ---
    We're back.
[12:03] ---
    We've returned.
[12:04] ---
    Welcome home. I'll make some tea.
[12:07] ---
    Wearing these funny clothes is exhausting.
[12:11] ---
    Um, sir? Wasn't Shinra-san with you, too?
[12:14] ---
    Yeah. Shinra said he wanted
    to see Amaterasu on his own.
[12:19] ---
    And, if we have to mobilize,
    I'll cover for him somehow.
[12:23] ---
    Plus, Tamaki and Arthur are here.
[12:27] ---
    Hmph, the guy's making work for me.
[12:36] ---
    If the Evangelist is going to
    come seeking me out,
[12:40] ---
    that works for me just fine.
[12:43] ---
    Long time no see, Devil's Footprints.
[13:01] ---
    You!
[13:02] ---
    An Adolla Burst. One of those
    is a primordial flame,
[13:05] ---
    which serves as the power
    source for Amaterasu.
[13:08] ---
    The sacred flame that created this world.
[13:11] ---
    But then, that flame is also
    the cause of the world's downfall.
[13:18] ---
    Whoa! I'm not in the mood
    for fisticuffs right now.
[13:22] ---
    But if you insist,
    I'd be willing to take you on.
[13:27] ---
    You don't actually think
    you can get a lick in, do you?
[13:38] ---
    I came to tell you something
    you'll want to hear today.
[13:43] ---
    A reward for the devil who certainly
    has gotten closer to the truth.
[13:49] ---
    You've just about stumbled upon the
    location of your brother, haven't you?
[13:54] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[13:55] ---
    Keep on pursuing the Evangelist.
    That's where you'll find your brother.
[14:01] ---
    Commander of the Knights of the
    Ashen Flame, in service to the Evangelist,
[14:05] ---
    Sho Kusakabe. Your brother.
[14:10] ---
    Sho serves under the Evangelist...
    as a commander... of an order of knights?
[14:22] ---
    What do you mean?!
[14:24] ---
    Joker!
[14:26] ---
    Hell is a perfect fit for a devil.
[14:39] ---
    Mom... Sho... I'm sorry.
    I couldn't keep my promise.
[14:46] ---
    Mom... Sho...
[14:51] ---
    Mom...
[14:54] ---
    But I will keep another promise.
[14:58] ---
    If what he says is really true,
[15:02] ---
    I'm going to have to fight with my brother.
[15:06] ---
    I'm going to become a superhero
    and protect Mom and Sho!
[15:11] ---
    The promise I made to Mom is a promise
    that will keep Mom and Sho and me...
[15:17] ---
    ...will keep our family bound together!
[15:21] ---
    No matter what, I will keep that promise!

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

[22:25] ---
    
[22:25] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[22:28] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[22:32] ---
    are not enough to save you
[22:47] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[22:51] ---
    between sights we never reach
[22:54] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[22:57] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[23:01] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[23:04] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[23:08] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[23:13] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[23:17] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[23:20] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[23:23] ---
    are not enough to save you
[23:26] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[23:29] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[23:32] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[23:36] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[23:39] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[23:42] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere

    The 8th's first fire. This is the

[00:13] ---
    the sister and Maki joined up.
[00:14] ---
    Come to think of it, how is it
    that the 8th came to be?
[00:18] ---
    I haven't heard about what
    happened before I joined.
[00:25] ---
    Well, let's see. It has to do with
    the matter of the heart of the 8th.
[00:30] ---
    Lieutenant, tell them.
[00:32] ---

    I hear there has been another
    increase in Infernals lately.
[02:41] ---
    Maybe there's something better
    we could be doing
[02:44] ---
    besides patrolling and
    investigating criminals.

    I'll see you tomorrow, sir.
[02:59] ---
    I don't recognize her.
[03:01] ---
    Could she be...?
[03:04] ---
    General Oze's daughter, Private Maki Oze.
[03:08] ---
    She's so thin.
[03:10] ---
    Is she all right?
[03:12] ---
    She gives twice the effort of the others.
[03:14] ---
    She also trains even harder
    than she's told to.
[03:17] ---
    She'll build up her strength
    before you know it.
[03:20] ---
    Pretty impressive for being
    a general's daughter.
[03:22] ---
    She's still daddy's little girl, though,
    and only got in because of him.
[03:25] ---
    She's too kind... and desperately
    not cut out to be a soldier.
[03:30] ---
    All of the work she's putting in
    now will be for nothing.
[03:32] ---
    You're as harsh as ever, aren't you?
[03:35] ---
    If she's trying that hard,
    you should be behind her.
[03:37] ---
    Wasted effort doesn't
    get to be called effort.
[03:40] ---
    She's no different from a goldbricker.
[03:42] ---
    I'm surprised you'd say something
    like that about such a cute girl.
[03:46] ---
    That's because you're too kind, Tojo.
[03:52] ---
    Something the matter with that gun?
[03:54] ---
    I'm following the Special Fire Force
    and took it to be baptized at the church.
[03:58] ---
    Speaking of wastes.
[04:00] ---
    Waste? Between a gun that was
    baptized and one that wasn't,
[04:04] ---
    you'd rather be shot by
    the baptized gun, right?
[04:09] ---
    How about it, Hinawa?
[04:11] ---
    If you go to the church and have
    your gun baptized, too, just to try it,
[04:15] ---
    your point of view might change a little.
[04:19] ---
    I don't believe in Sol. It's not like
    the effects of shooting a gun change
[04:23] ---
    just because it's been baptized.
[04:25] ---
    I've known you for a long time,
    and that's what I thought you'd say.
[04:32] ---
    How come someone as kind
    as you sticks with me, anyway?
[04:37] ---
    Hinawa, you're not as cold
    a fish as you think you are.
[04:41] ---
    I mean, you are bussing my tray with yours.
[05:13] ---
    Tojo?!
[05:14] ---
    Hinawa! Shoot!
[05:16] ---
    Shoot me! While I'm still conscious!
[05:22] ---
    Hurry up and shoot!
[05:25] ---
    Shoot!
[05:38] ---
    You'd rather be shot by
    the baptized gun, right?
[05:49] ---
    Wait--
[05:57] ---
    Why couldn't I shoot him?
    I failed to shoot him...
[06:10] ---
    Lieutenant Tojo's gun.

    I finished changing the owner's name
    to yours, as you requested.

[06:47] ---
    until they finish putting them to rest.
[06:49] ---
    Reporting in! I'm in charge of
    the Fire Fighters here, Akitaru Obi.
[06:55] ---
    We heard there were two Infernals.
[06:58] ---
    Yes. There are two, but they are
    currently in different locations.
[07:02] ---
    One is belligerent, and is currently
    running around inside our cordon.
[07:05] ---
    The other one is more docile,
    and staying inside this store.
[07:10] ---
    One of the two of them...
[07:12] ---
    ...isn't going to earn many points, huh?
[07:14] ---
    Points?
[07:16] ---
    The situation is clear.
    You Fire Fighters pull back.
[07:20] ---
    We'll start with the live one.
    Leave the one with fewer points alone.
[07:31] ---
    Excuse me, Mr. Fireman, my husband
    is patiently enduring those flames.
[07:37] ---
    Please put him out of his misery quickly.
[07:40] ---
    There is an order of precedence
    we follow at a scene.
[07:42] ---
    You let us handle the arrangements
    of putting him to rest.
[07:45] ---
    Let's go!
[07:47] ---
    P-Please, wait!
[07:51] ---
    Excuse me.
[07:56] ---
    Wouldn't that just mean
    sending only two men in pursuit,
[07:59] ---
    dividing your forces in two,
    and putting them both to rest?
[08:03] ---
    We are pros. There is such
    a thing as on-site judgment.
[08:09] ---
    You mean points?
[08:10] ---
    That's right.
[08:12] ---
    By assigning rankings to Infernals,
    and awarding points based on results,
[08:15] ---
    I can maintain my men's morale.
[08:17] ---
    Maintain their morale?
[08:20] ---
    Morale doesn't mean a damn
    when putting a person to rest, does it?
[08:24] ---
    Don't second-guess our job, amateur.
[08:28] ---
    You Fire Fighters just
    get ready with the water.
[08:34] ---
    Nobuo-san, hang in there. Just hang in there.
[08:39] ---
    I'm sorry I can't do anything for you.
[08:41] ---
    Ma'am, if you like, I
    could take it upon myself
[08:45] ---
    to put your husband to rest.

    Sergeant Takehisa Hinawa,
    Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces.
[09:09] ---
    "Episode 11:
    Formation of Special Fire Force Company 8"
[09:15] ---
    Beyond here is Blue Stripes territory.
[09:17] ---
    If a soldier like you or a Fire Fighter
    like me crosses this tape,
[09:20] ---
    we will be severely punished.
[09:25] ---
    Compared to the suffering
    of the Infernal inside,
[09:29] ---
    accepting punishment is no skin off my nose.
[09:32] ---
    You think so, too, don't you?
[09:38] ---
    Sergeant Hinawa, do you have
    any experience fighting Infernals?
[09:42] ---
    I turned my gun on a friend who
    became an Infernal the other day...
[09:51] ---
    ...but I couldn't shoot him.
[09:56] ---
    I am not a pious follower of Sol.
[10:01] ---
    Nonetheless, I could not shoot him
    with an unbaptized gun.
[10:10] ---
    Infernal sighted.
[10:13] ---
    Sergeant Hinawa, it's not about
    whether or not I believe in God,
[10:18] ---
    but how much I can do for the sake of
    a dying Infernal that I believe is important.
[10:26] ---
    Baptisms and prayers are
    a part of that belief.
[10:30] ---
    And they're also salvation to
    those who put Infernals to rest.
[10:37] ---
    I'll do it.
[10:45] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[10:51] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
[10:55] ---
    Sergeant Hinawa, you are a kind man.
[11:16] ---
    You have courage.
[11:18] ---
    You're the one who has courage.
[11:20] ---
    If you hadn't taken action,
    I likely wouldn't have done anything.
[11:24] ---
    Making up your mind to move forward
    on your own isn't that difficult.
[11:30] ---
    It's easy to believe in yourself, after all.
[11:33] ---
    But trusting in someone else,
    taking action, and sacrificing yourself
[11:37] ---
    are things that require
    a tremendous amount of courage.
[11:40] ---
    Today, Sergeant Hinawa,
    that courage... was yours.
[11:45] ---
    If so, then you're the king.
[11:55] ---
    That settles it!
[11:57] ---
    I'm going to establish a
    Special Fire Force company.
[12:01] ---
    I want to be a Special Fire Soldier,
    and pursue the mystery of Infernals.
[12:05] ---
    How can I sit back and do nothing
    while the world burns down around me?
[12:13] ---
    I'm going to need men like you in my company,
[12:17] ---
    who cherish life above anything else.
[12:25] ---
    When that time arrives,
    by all means, reach out to me.
[12:29] ---
    "Solar Year 197"
[12:34] ---
    This is the fire cathedral
    that will serve as our base.
[12:37] ---
    It's as run-down as you'd expect of
    the dwelling of a bunch of outcasts.
[12:41] ---
    So, are we the only two crewmen?
[12:45] ---
    Oh, well...
[12:47] ---
    Gathering crewmen I can trust
    is quite a difficult task.
[12:52] ---
    As it happens, I have a line on someone.
[12:55] ---
    A subordinate from my soldier days.
[12:57] ---
    Someone who works harder than anyone,
[12:59] ---
    but who wasn't much use as a soldier.
[13:02] ---
    Who is more compassionate,
    and thinks of others before herself,
[13:07] ---
    which makes her a good fit for your 8th.
[13:11] ---
    Huh?
[13:12] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[13:13] ---
    Way to go, Maki-san.
[13:15] ---
    Huh? I thought I was only brought in
    to be a meat shield because of my ability.
[13:22] ---
    Lieutenant, you said that?
[13:28] ---
    I'm so happy...
[13:30] ---
    Lieutenant, nicely done.
[13:33] ---
    The heart of the 8th remains
    unchanged since its founding--
[13:36] ---
    respect and prayers for
    the Infernals we put to rest,
[13:40] ---
    deliverance from the flames
    for those who are alive,
[13:43] ---
    and cherishing human lives.
[13:54] ---
    "Inquiry Report"
[13:56] ---
    This is kind of turning into a long story,
[13:59] ---
    but this was the 8th's first fire scene.
[14:03] ---
    It was a hot day.
[14:05] ---
    It was our first call out,
    and we were all nervous.
[14:10] ---
    The victim who had Infernalized
    was dressed all in white.
[14:15] ---
    We put them to rest without incident,
[14:17] ---
    but there were a lot of
    suspicious factors about that fire.
[14:21] ---
    An unfamiliar red cross...
[14:23] ---
    No next of kin.
    The company where they worked
[14:26] ---
    hurriedly came to collect
    their personal effects.
[14:29] ---
    Looking into it, that business still exists.
[14:33] ---
    It's located in Asakusa.
[14:36] ---
    That's the 7th's jurisdiction.
[14:39] ---
    --Come on by, come on by!
    We have Hoppy, cheap!
[14:41] ---
    --Yo, Beni-chan!
    --Come on by, come on by!
    We have Hoppy, cheap!
[14:42] ---
    --We have monjayaki, monja, and beer, too!
[14:45] ---
    --Hello there, Waka, sir.
    --We have monjayaki, monja, and beer, too!
[14:49] ---
    Benimaru-chan!
[14:52] ---
    I made some daifuku. Take some with you.
[14:54] ---
    Huh? Don't I always say I don't
    like sweets, you old biddy?
[15:06] ---
    She makes too much.
[15:08] ---
    Yo, Beni-chan! Haven't seen you
    in three days. You doing all right?
[15:15] ---
    Come have a drink with me tonight!
[15:21] ---
    Buzz off.
[15:27] ---
    Daifuku from the old biddy.
    Anyone who wants one, help yourself.
[15:33] ---
    I love that die-hard old hag's daifuku!
[15:36] ---
    An old lady who can't make daifuku
    would be better off dead!
[15:42] ---
    Hinata, Hikage... Now, look...
[15:46] ---
    What is it, Waka? We aren't
    listening to any complaints.
[15:50] ---
    They're just parroting you, Waka.
[15:52] ---
    "Lieutenant"
    "Third-generation pyrokinetic"
    "Sagamiya Konro"
[15:56] ---
    I'm not listening to any complaints.
[15:58] ---
    You see? Right there.
[15:59] ---
    These daifuku are delicious!
    The last glimmer of a die-hard old biddy.
[16:05] ---
    The light of a dying old hag is tasty!
[16:08] ---
    I never said anything like that.
[16:12] ---
    By the way, Waka, we just got word
    from the folks at the 8th.
[16:16] ---
    They say they want to search our jurisdiction
    over that Evangelist matter.
[16:21] ---
    Too much trouble. Ignore them.
[16:24] ---
    Begging your pardon, but we're already here.
[16:28] ---
    Huh?
[16:29] ---
    "Episode 11:
    The Mightiest Hikeshi"
[16:35] ---
    What do you think you're doing
    barging your way in here?
[16:39] ---
    I heard that Captain Shinmon Benimaru
    hated the bother of formalities,
[16:44] ---
    and we decided to just come over directly.
[16:50] ---
    So you've come here unannounced. Fine.
[16:54] ---
    And I don't care a bit about this
    Evangelist investigation,
[16:57] ---
    but I can't have anyone
    coming in to disrupt my turf.
[17:01] ---
    The Evangelist is artificially
    producing Infernals.
[17:05] ---
    There's a possibility that the people
    of this area will be the next target.
[17:10] ---
    That's what the empire says, right?
[17:13] ---
    It's not like I've ever actually seen
    one of them turn a person
[17:17] ---
    into an Infernal, myself.
[17:25] ---
    I'm not so naive that I believe that.
[17:28] ---
    Well, I have seen it myself!
[17:30] ---
    It doesn't matter to me
    what some imperial dog saw.
[17:35] ---
    I don't need to hear any tales
    from a credulous pup.
[17:39] ---
    And I don't need to hear that
    from some incredulous do-nothing.
[17:46] ---
    Captain of the 7th, sir, you're the
    mightiest Fire Soldier, aren't you?
[17:50] ---
    So powerful that you forced the empire
    to acknowledge your town's hikeshi force?
[17:55] ---
    Well now it's my turn to kick your ass
    and make you acknowledge me!
[18:01] ---
    "Fires and fistfights are
    the flowers of Edo," huh?
[18:12] ---
    Fire! Fire! Fire!
[18:15] ---
    An Infernal?
[18:17] ---
    You had to go and jinx us, Waka.
[18:19] ---
    Damn it.
[18:24] ---
    Beat it on out of here before I get back.
[18:33] ---
    That must be it.
[18:35] ---
    Who is it?
[18:36] ---
    The ever-ostentatious Kantaro.
[18:40] ---
    He just barely invited me
    to have a drink with him.
[18:45] ---
    Kantaro over on Block 3 has turned Infernal!
[18:49] ---
    Seiya! Soiya! Seiya! Soiya!
[18:51] ---
    Seiya! Soiya! Seiya! Soiya!
    Seiya! Soiya! Seiya!
[18:56] ---
    What's he planning to do?
[18:58] ---
    The festival is beginning!
[19:11] ---
    Those homes!
[19:19] ---
    He flew away.
[19:21] ---
    What kind of ability does their captain have?
[19:26] ---
    There you are, you old coot!
[19:29] ---
    --Waka!
    --Waka!
[19:45] ---
    Another block!
[19:47] ---
    We can rebuild houses as much as we need to.
[19:50] ---
    But now that Kantaro has become
    an Infernal, his life is over.
[19:59] ---
    What's going on? Is he starting fires
    and controlling the flames?
[20:04] ---
    There may be a trick to
    those matoi he's using.
[20:07] ---
    Waka can use both
    third-generation pyrokinetic
[20:10] ---
    and second-generation
    flame manipulation abilities.
[20:14] ---
    Creating fires and controlling them
    are a piece of cake for him.
[20:19] ---
    He's a compound Fire
    Soldier, unlike any other.
[20:22] ---
    "Compound Fire Soldier"
    "Shinmon Benimaru"
[20:29] ---
    Look at this, Kantaro!
    The whole block is a mess!
[20:33] ---
    You're much too old to be running
    around like this, you old coot!
[20:40] ---
    This is just like you--always so
    ostentatious. Aren't you?
[20:55] ---
    Way to hang in there.
[21:11] ---
    Thank you for letting me
    see Kantaro through to the end.
[21:18] ---
    Did Benimaru-chan's way
    of putting someone to rest
[21:20] ---
    strike an 8th Fire Soldier
    like yourself as being too rough?
[21:24] ---
    Just as the Holy Sol religion
    offers its prayers,
[21:27] ---
    we have our destroyed block offerings.
[21:31] ---
    Everyone in our world is terrified
    by the flames of Infernalization,
[21:35] ---
    and are looking for a place to die.
[21:38] ---
    As far as the people here go,
    if we have to die anyway,
[21:41] ---
    we want to have Benimaru-chan
    be the one putting us to rest.
[21:46] ---
    Shinmon Benimaru,
    the demolishing king of Asakusa.
[22:17] ---
    Too sweet.
[22:19] ---
    
[22:19] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:21] ---
    
[22:22] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[22:23] ---
    
[22:25] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[22:28] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[22:32] ---
    are not enough to save you
[22:47] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[22:51] ---
    between sights we never reach
[22:54] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[22:57] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[23:01] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[23:04] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[23:08] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[23:13] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[23:17] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[23:20] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[23:23] ---
    are not enough to save you
[23:26] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[23:29] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[23:32] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[23:36] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[23:39] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[23:42] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[23:52] ---

[00:02] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:09] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:37] ---
    Tamaya!
[00:39] ---
    Kagiya!
[00:41] ---
    It's almost like a festival, huh?
[00:43] ---
    It must be their own special way of mourning,
[00:46] ---
    because it's different from
    other proto-nationalist funerals.
[00:52] ---
    Scaffolders, get started on repairs!
[00:54] ---
    --Right!
    --Right!
[00:55] ---
    Anyone whose house was
    demolished for Kantaro's funeral,
[00:57] ---
    you can stay at the guardhouse!
[01:00] ---
    We'll look after you until
    the repair work is completed!
[01:05] ---
    Captain, would it be okay if we went
    to help with the repairs, too?
[01:10] ---
    Good idea. We can't really
    negotiate an investigation
[01:14] ---
    until the town gets fixed up.
[01:32] ---
    Hey!
[01:33] ---
    Please let the 8th help!
[01:35] ---
    With my ability, hauling stuff and
    elevated work will be no problem.
[01:45] ---
    I'll move this rubble out of the way, too.
[01:52] ---
    You can leave the welding to me.
[01:59] ---
    Oh, not bad.
[02:00] ---
    Oh...
[02:07] ---
    This is too heavy to move.
[02:44] ---
    The 8th's Matchbox was down
    on Yagen Street in Asakusa.
[02:49] ---
    What would the 8th be doing
    in the 7th's jurisdiction?
[02:53] ---
    The 8th went to investigate
    the 1st over the Rekka matter.
[02:57] ---
    They may be trying to sniff us out.
[03:00] ---
    What does the Evangelist say?
[03:03] ---
    "Exterminate them."
    We failed to finish the job last time.
[03:09] ---
    Get the bugs and traps ready.
[03:22] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[03:23] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[03:27] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[03:30] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[03:32] ---
    The end is illuminated
[03:34] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[03:37] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[03:40] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[03:42] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[03:47] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[03:54] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:59] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[04:05] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[04:09] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[04:15] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[04:20] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[04:23] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[04:26] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[04:31] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[04:35] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[04:41] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[04:49] ---
    Today's work is done!
[04:51] ---
    Today's work is done!
[04:58] ---
    You don't have to trouble yourself, Waka.
[05:01] ---
    The youngsters have finally gotten a breather.
    At least let me do this much.
[05:06] ---
    Thank you.
[05:09] ---
    Does that hurt?
[05:11] ---
    No, it's just cold.
[05:15] ---
    You really should have been the
    one to become captain, Konro.
[05:21] ---
    This is the 7th, where
    the rowdies come to live.
[05:25] ---
    Anyone who can't fight
    has no business being the captain.
[05:33] ---
    Konro!
[05:34] ---
    Waka!
[05:35] ---
    Hey, hold on!
[05:37] ---
    What? What's going on?
[05:39] ---
    This big bozo is chasing
    Hika and Hina, trying to eat us!
[05:42] ---
    He's seriously screwed up!
[05:44] ---
    I was just playing tag with you,
    and you call me a bozo, you jerk?
[05:48] ---
    I'm not showing off my
    flaming top for you anymore.
[05:51] ---
    Flaming top?
[05:53] ---
    He shoots flames out of his feet
    and spins around wicked fast.
[05:56] ---
    It's so ridiculous!
[05:59] ---
    It's breakin'! Break dancing!
    And it's not ridiculous, it's cool!
[06:04] ---
    Heh, such a kid...
[06:08] ---
    Sorry about this, 8th. Not only
    do we have you help with repairs,
[06:12] ---
    --but now you're looking
    after the little ones.
[06:13] ---
    --We're not little! We'll smoosh you, Konro!
    --but now you're looking after the little ones.
[06:16] ---
    --Nah, I don't mind hanging
    out with children.
[06:18] ---
    --Don't treat us like children!
    --Nah, I don't mind hanging out with children.
[06:19] ---
    We'll smoosh you, Shinra!
[06:24] ---
    Here, I'll show you my
    flaming top. Here goes...
[06:27] ---
    Shut up! Don't tell Hika and Hina what to do!
[06:35] ---
    The folks from the 8th are
    some fairly pleasant people.
[06:40] ---
    They're not the same sort as
    the other Fire Force companies.
[06:43] ---
    Kind of like those of us in the 7th.
[06:46] ---
    I guess.
[06:49] ---
    Why not cooperate with their investigation?
[06:53] ---
    If you were the captain,
    is that what you'd do?
[06:59] ---
    Waka, you weren't chosen to be the
    captain just because you're strong.
[07:05] ---
    The reason the 8th's folks were
    helping us is because you--
[07:08] ---
    I know. I've heard it over and over.
[07:11] ---
    I'm just not cut out for this sort
    of thing--being in charge of others.
[07:21] ---
    Come on, face forward.
    I can't wrap this bandage.
[07:25] ---
    I'll cooperate. I don't
    dislike these 8th folks.
[07:30] ---
    "Episode 12:
    Eve of Hostilities in Asakusa"
[07:38] ---
    --Ah! Waka!
    --Ah! Waka!
[07:40] ---
    I'm sorry about before, sir.
[07:42] ---
    Oh, no biggie.
[07:46] ---
    Um, about Lieutenant Konro's body...
[07:50] ---
    When a third generation exceeds
    the limit of his pyrokinesis,
[07:54] ---
    his body starts incinerating
    if he keeps going,
[07:57] ---
    and before long, is reduced to ash.
[08:00] ---
    Tephrosis.
[08:02] ---
    Is this your first time seeing it?
[08:04] ---
    We learned about it at the Training Academy,
[08:06] ---
    but this is my first time
    seeing it in person.
[08:09] ---
    At the time, I...
[08:16] ---
    Shinra,
[08:17] ---
    I need to talk to your captain. Where is he?
[08:21] ---
    I was actually asked by him to
    come and get you, Captain Shinmon.
[08:26] ---
    He's across the way talking
    to Lieutenant Hinawa, sir.
[08:33] ---
    What are you going to do now?
    Are you going back to the 8th?
[08:36] ---
    As long as you're here, you could
    always stay over at our station.
[08:39] ---
    It wasn't what we planned,
[08:41] ---
    but after helping out with the repairs,
[08:43] ---
    we're on much better terms with the 7th guys.
[08:46] ---
    Hey, lady, strip again for us, okay?
[08:49] ---
    I will not!
[08:51] ---
    I hope we'll get permission to
    conduct our investigation now.
[08:55] ---
    Captain Shinmon said he wanted
    to talk to Captain Obi earlier,
[09:00] ---
    so I think we'll be able to investigate.
[09:03] ---
    All we have so far are just breadcrumbs,
[09:05] ---
    but we're still getting after the Evangelist.
[09:14] ---
    Seeing as how there are so many
    proto-nationalists in the 7th,
[09:17] ---
    we left Iris-sama behind,
[09:19] ---
    and the 5th is holding down things
    at the 8th while we're gone.
[09:24] ---
    I sure hope we can start investigating soon.
[09:28] ---
    "Nonessential"
[09:29] ---
    Get that desk out of there
    and set up Shinra's desk!
[09:33] ---
    You can toss Obi's personal
    things outside or something!
[09:35] ---
    Oh... n-nee-san...
[09:38] ---
    Captain Hibana, what is the reason for this?
[09:41] ---
    Punishment for getting carried away
    and driving the 5th so hard.
[09:44] ---
    Should we just accept this?
[09:48] ---
    Látom.
[09:50] ---
    Gravel! You gravel! Where does gravel
    get off telling me what to do?!
[09:54] ---
    Ah! I am gravel! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[09:58] ---
    Please, step on me even more!
[10:07] ---
    That went well, huh, Lieutenant?
[10:09] ---
    Yes it did.
[10:11] ---
    We succeeded in turning that
    Kantaro guy into an Infernal.
[10:14] ---
    That we did.
[10:16] ---
    Let's turn even more people
    in this town into Infernals.
[10:19] ---
    Yes, let's.
[10:24] ---
    A fire?
[10:25] ---
    Maki-san!
[10:26] ---
    I'm going to go check!
[10:28] ---
    Don't do anything rash until
    we meet up with the captain!
[10:34] ---
    What's suddenly happening?
    Why is he attacking?
[10:36] ---
    It's because you ate their daifuku, Captain!
[10:40] ---
    It was only one! He's overreacting!
[10:47] ---
    I'll kill you.
[10:49] ---
    What's the matter?
[10:50] ---
    Shut up. Don't think you're getting
    out of Asakusa without paying.
[10:57] ---
    You turned Kantaro into an Infernal.
[11:03] ---
    We made him an Infernal?
    Captain Shinmon, what are you--?
[11:09] ---
    Don't play dumb! Your true intent
    is to turn this city upside down!
[11:15] ---
    You tricked us. I saw it with my own eyes.
[11:23] ---
    I don't know what you saw, sir,
    but please take it easy!
[11:26] ---
    Huh? Screw that!
    There's no reason to take it easy!
[11:30] ---
    "Evangelist" my ass!
[11:32] ---
    I saw your captain and lieutenant
[11:34] ---
    plotting how to turn this
    town's people into Infernals!
[11:39] ---
    You're mistaken!
[11:40] ---
    I'll crush you all and string you up!
[11:44] ---
    I know exactly what I saw.
[11:47] ---
    It was definitely them.
[11:49] ---
    Captain, I don't think he's joking around.
[11:52] ---
    Wait a minute, please!
    We don't want to fight you!
[11:56] ---
    Then go ahead and defeat me,
    and prove to me what you really want!
[12:00] ---
    Around here, might makes right!
[12:02] ---
    If you don't want to fight me,
    then prove it by fighting me!
[12:08] ---
    Bring it on, 8th!
[12:11] ---
    You're facing Shinmon Benimaru!
[12:13] ---
    We managed to instigate him.
[12:15] ---
    Yes.
[12:16] ---
    On to our next trick.
[12:23] ---
    Hinawa!
[12:24] ---
    Leave it to me, sir.
[12:28] ---
    Waka! The musclebound
    dummy is running away!
[12:33] ---
    Hiding behind women and children?
    Just how rotten is your core?!
[12:38] ---
    Everyone, get back!
[12:41] ---
    We're Fire Soldiers, too! Would you
    mind not looking down on us?!
[12:45] ---
    Did you think you deflected that?
[12:49] ---
    Maki-san!
[12:59] ---
    Whoa...
[13:04] ---
    You can fire your peashooter at me
    all you want, but it won't work.
[13:07] ---
    I know it won't work. I was just seeing
    how much of your second generation
[13:13] ---
    and third generation abilities
    you can use at the same time.
[13:17] ---
    Arthur! Tamaki!
[13:42] ---
    Iai Chop, Form One...
[13:46] ---
    Fire Moon.
[13:58] ---
    Is that all you've got, 8th?!
[14:11] ---
    What have you done to my men?
[14:14] ---
    Captain Obi...
[14:17] ---
    Let's settle this, captain to captain!
[14:35] ---
    Why the hell did you turn somebody
    from my town into an Infernal?
[14:38] ---
    No matter what I say,
    you aren't going to listen.
[14:41] ---
    So just shut up and come at me!
[14:43] ---
    You reveal your true nature, you scum!
[14:53] ---
    You're not canceling them out?
[14:54] ---
    Cancel them? There's no way
    I can do that, you know.
[14:59] ---
    I don't have any powers!
[15:01] ---
    You what?
[15:06] ---
    Then aren't you afraid of flames?
[15:08] ---
    Sure I am! They're hot!
[15:17] ---
    Why would somebody who
    knows the terror of flames
[15:20] ---
    gratuitously turn Kantaro into an Infernal?!
[15:24] ---
    I'm telling you, there's been
    some kind of mistake!
[15:28] ---
    I clearly saw you! There can be no mistake!
[15:32] ---
    Captain!
[15:37] ---
    Don't talk to me about second
    generation or third generation.
[15:41] ---
    I train every day.
[15:45] ---
    An extinguisher grenade?
[16:07] ---
    You gassed yourself, too?
[16:22] ---
    I finally got one shot in.
[16:24] ---
    You're not one to shy away, are you?
[16:28] ---
    There's no way I could possibly shy away.
[16:31] ---
    I've taken being the captain
    of the 8th upon myself!
[16:37] ---
    What's with the musclebound dummy?
    He's unpowered, right?
[16:40] ---
    He got a shot in against Waka.
[16:42] ---
    Is the captain really that strong?
[16:45] ---
    What, did you think he was weak?
[16:48] ---
    But still, I can't bear to watch him
    fight so recklessly.
[16:53] ---
    Both Captain Shinmon and Captain Obi
[16:56] ---
    have an innate knack for
    winning people over to them.
[16:59] ---
    We can't let the two of them
    keep fighting anymore.
[17:02] ---
    Is there any way we can stop them?
[17:04] ---
    Is beating him the only way
    to set the record straight?
[17:08] ---
    --Waka!
    --Let him have it!
[17:11] ---
    What in the world is all this ruckus?
[17:13] ---
    Word is that the 8th folks are the ones
    who turned Kantaro into an Infernal.
[17:17] ---
    Waka snapped and started this huge fight.
[17:19] ---
    --Munch!
    --Munch!
[17:21] ---
    What? That's ridiculous.
[17:27] ---
    Someone as strong as you? I'm not buying it!
[17:34] ---
    You won't go down without
    a full-fledged attack, then?
[17:38] ---
    Then I'm done playing around.
[17:42] ---
    What is he planning to do?
[17:43] ---
    No!
[17:46] ---
    Iai Chop, Form Seven:
[17:50] ---
    Sun Wheel.
[17:51] ---
    Waka! Don't!
[17:53] ---
    Don't stop me, Konro.
[17:55] ---
    Did you know that these guys
[17:58] ---
    are trying to turn the people
    of our town into Infernals?
[18:01] ---
    That's ridiculous.
[18:03] ---
    I saw these two plotting it out!
[18:05] ---
    How many times do I have to
    tell you, you're mistaken?!
[18:10] ---
    Take this!
[18:13] ---
    Konro! Let me go!
[18:14] ---
    Waka, cool your jets!
[18:17] ---
    You dumbass! Why the hell are you
    using your pyrokinesis?!
[18:23] ---
    Hikage! Hinata! Bring me a cooling blanket!
[18:26] ---
    Roger!
[18:26] ---
    Wilco!
[18:28] ---
    Waka, why don't you at least
    hear out what the 8th has to say?
[18:43] ---
    What were you all doing when
    Waka saw what he thinks he saw?
[18:48] ---
    Captain Obi and I
[18:50] ---
    were buying some items we were
    short on at the town general store.
[18:53] ---
    We also told Maki that's where we were going.
[18:56] ---
    Yes, that's true.
[18:57] ---
    Huh? But the captain told me
    to go and get Captain Shinmon,
[19:01] ---
    and that he'd be waiting in the back alley.
[19:04] ---
    I heard as much, and that's
    when I headed toward you.
[19:08] ---
    I don't remember ever saying that.
[19:11] ---
    Are you trying to fool your own men?!
[19:14] ---
    I'm going to go ask around
    at the general store.
[19:20] ---
    For Konro's sake, I'm going to
    excuse this for the moment.
[19:23] ---
    Do not leave here until
    I say you're in the clear.
[19:31] ---
    Honestly, Waka is such a stubborn boy.
[19:36] ---
    After all this time, he's still the same.
[19:42] ---
    Lieutenant Konro,
[19:43] ---
    would you tell us what happened to your body?
[19:48] ---
    It's all because I wasn't strong enough.
[19:53] ---
    Captain Shinmon seemed
    remorseful about it, as well.
[19:58] ---
    Waka did nothing wrong.
    Waka didn't do anything wrong.
[20:05] ---
    Do you want to hear about it?
[20:08] ---
    It happened before we formally
    joined the Special Fire Force.
[20:14] ---
    "Solar Year 196"
[20:18] ---
    "Tokyo, Asakusa"
[20:22] ---
    Run to the river!
[20:31] ---
    What the hell is going on?
[20:33] ---
    How can there be this many
    Infernalizations in one night?
[20:37] ---
    Whatever the reason, right now,
    we have to get the people safely evacuated.
[20:41] ---
    What about the Special Fire Force?
    When are they finally going to get here?
[20:46] ---
    We can't rely on them. We'll do it ourselves.
[20:52] ---
    Beni!
[20:53] ---
    Damn it... Can't breathe...
[20:56] ---
    Try as I might, it doesn't feel like
    I'm getting any oxygen...
[21:00] ---
    You're at your pyrokinetic limit.
    Beni, you stay here.
[21:04] ---
    Don't be a dumbass!
    You're in the same boat as I am!
[21:10] ---
    Wha--?
[21:21] ---
    What is that thing?
[21:25] ---
    A demon?!
[21:34] ---
    That Infernal... is...
[21:39] ---
    Oh, no!
[21:42] ---
    What the hell are you doing,
[21:44] ---
    Konro?!
[21:48] ---
    I have to go that far, or else a hell-raiser
    like yourself won't sit still.
[21:56] ---
    Beni, this isn't where you're
    going to meet your end.
[22:10] ---
    I'll deal with this!
[22:13] ---
    
[22:15] ---
    
[22:17] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:17] ---
    
[22:22] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[22:25] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[22:28] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[22:31] ---
    are not enough to save you
[22:47] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[22:51] ---
    between sights we never reach
[22:54] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[22:57] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[23:01] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[23:04] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[23:08] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[23:13] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[23:17] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[23:20] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[23:23] ---
    are not enough to save you
[23:26] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[23:29] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[23:32] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[23:36] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[23:39] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[23:42] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[23:51] ---

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

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

[01:09] ---
    Are you okay? Where is that Infernal?
[01:13] ---
    Yeah, Beni... I made it...
[01:17] ---
    You've carbonized, you know.
[01:22] ---
    How come? If I'd fought with you,
[01:26] ---
    you wouldn't have had to get this beaten up.
[01:31] ---
    Why didn't you let me fight, too?
[01:36] ---
    Beni, we can't afford to
    lose you at a time like this.
[01:41] ---
    You dumbass!
[01:43] ---
    We're all still here because of you!
[01:46] ---
    Now that you've ended up like this,
    who's gonna be in charge of Asakusa?!
[01:53] ---
    You're going to, Benimaru.
[02:00] ---
    --Look and make sure there are no
    civilians buried under the houses!
[02:01] ---
    --The Special Fire Force.
    --Look and make sure there are no

[02:02] ---
    --The Special Fire Force.
    --There may still be Infernals around, too!
[02:03] ---
    --They show up after it's all over.
    --There may still be Infernals around, too!
[02:06] ---
    Those could collapse at any time!

[02:25] ---
    Konro-kun, right? You're the
    neighborhood watch representative?
[02:30] ---
    By order of the emperor, the Asakusa hikeshis
[02:34] ---
    are hereby formally inducted into
    the Special Fire Force as Company 7.
[02:39] ---
    You're just afraid of what we can do!
[02:42] ---
    Beni, hold on a second.
[02:44] ---
    We'll be the 7th? What's in it for us?
[02:49] ---
    Once you're an official company of the empire,
    you'll be supported financially,
[02:53] ---
    as well as given equipment, supplies,
    and top-notch personnel.
[02:58] ---
    I do not see any reason for you to decline.
[03:02] ---
    I can't answer you immediately.
    Let me consider it.
[03:15] ---
    It will be comforting to have
    tough men like you on our side.
[03:20] ---
    I'm looking forward to your favorable response.
[03:26] ---
    You're thinking of becoming an imperial dog?!
[03:29] ---
    If we could have operated
    as an official company,
[03:32] ---
    the damage we suffered this time around
    might have been a bit lower.
[03:36] ---
    If the empire means to exploit us,
    we can just exploit the empire right back.

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

[06:13] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[06:14] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[06:18] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[06:21] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[06:23] ---
    The end is illuminated
[06:25] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[06:28] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[06:31] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[06:33] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[06:38] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[06:45] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[06:50] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[06:56] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[07:00] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[07:06] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[07:11] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[07:14] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[07:17] ---
    are all precious treasures to me

    We'll keep on walking until the day

    How many times do I
    have to say it?! I'm innocent!
[07:43] ---
    The hell you are! I was there
    and I saw you steal it!
[07:48] ---
    Are you sure it was him?
[07:51] ---
    Yeah, no doubt about it.
[07:54] ---
    I saw you walking around with another woman!
[07:56] ---
    I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
[07:59] ---
    What the hell is going on?
[08:00] ---
    There's no way there could be this many
    cases of mistaken identity in one night.
[08:05] ---
    Hey, you!
[08:06] ---
    What are you giving me that face for?!
[08:07] ---
    No, what's your problem?!
[08:09] ---
    --You little stink!
    --You little stink!
[08:12] ---
    Come on now, you two...
[08:13] ---
    Hey, stop that.
[08:15] ---
    It's unusual for Hika and Hina to fight.
[08:18] ---
    --Huh?!
    --Huh?!
[08:19] ---
    She's not Hika! She's someone that's not Hika!
[08:21] ---
    She's not Hina! She's someone that's not Hina!
[08:24] ---
    What are they talking about?
[08:26] ---
    How can you say she even looks like Hikage?
    Come on, are you dense?!
[08:29] ---
    Who are you, then, you big jerk?!
[08:32] ---
    What the hell did you do with Hika?!
    Give Hika back! I'll rip the life outta you!
[08:36] ---
    What did you put Hina?! Give Hina back to me!
[08:38] ---
    Hinata, Hikage, stop it!
[08:40] ---
    Let's play tag again, okay? We'll play nice.
[08:43] ---
    Come on, now, you two.
[08:49] ---
    Oh?
[08:52] ---
    Yay!
[08:53] ---
    You disgust me.
[08:55] ---
    Ah! What did you do,
    you rotten onion-headed knight?!
[08:58] ---
    --How could you do that to a child?!
    --I thought you were a good idiot!
[09:00] ---
    But you were a bad idiot, huh?
[09:02] ---
    Look closer! That's definitely
    a tiny old man dressed up like a girl!
[09:10] ---
    Are your eyes stupid, too?!
[09:12] ---
    --That's definitely either Hinata or Hikage!
[09:13] ---
    Is this something a knight would do?! --That's definitely either Hinata or Hikage!
[09:13] ---
    --You're not just an idiot,
    you've up and gone nuts!
    
[09:16] ---
    Whoa, take it easy, there, 8th.
[09:29] ---
    Huh? A tiny old man...?
[09:31] ---
    That's not Hikage!
[09:33] ---
    I told you so.
[09:35] ---
    What the hell...?
[09:44] ---
    Your face is my canvas. You're going
    from regular person to work of art.
[09:50] ---
    As quick as a dart,
[09:51] ---
    "art."
[09:54] ---
    It feels great. It feels great.
[09:58] ---
    You'll be fine.
[09:59] ---
    It feels great?
[10:00] ---
    I use heat to manipulate blood vessels,
    dilating your capillaries and lymph ducts.
[10:05] ---
    Then I utilize the localized swelling
    to change the shape of your face.
[10:11] ---
    That's it, relax. You are
    going to be a work of art.
[10:19] ---
    It feels great?
[10:26] ---
    No, I don't like this.
[10:28] ---
    --You treacherous flop! Did you think
    your face could bask in the light of Sol?!
[10:32] ---
    --Wh-What are you...?
    --You treacherous flop! Did you think
    your face could bask in the light of Sol?!
[10:34] ---
    Zeal! Zeal!
[10:36] ---
    Ah, the blood is starting to boil!
    My craft is a big bang!
[10:42] ---
    Ooh, that's hot!
[10:44] ---
    Yona,
[10:45] ---
    --My art does not betray me. Anyone who
    turns on me is not my art. As I thought.
[10:45] ---
    --we don't have an unlimited supply of followers. Don't waste them.
[10:50] ---
    The bugs are ready to go. The plan
    is complete. We should get going, too.
[11:01] ---
    --We're going to turn Asakusa
    into a sea of flames again.
[11:03] ---
    --As quick as a dart, art.
    --We're going to turn Asakusa
    into a sea of flames again.
[11:04] ---
    --As quick as a dart, art.
[11:07] ---
    --Hey, you! What's the big idea,
    eating at my restaurant without paying?!
[11:09] ---
    --I'm telling you, I don't remember doing that!
    --Hey, you! What's the big idea,
    eating at my restaurant without paying?!
[11:10] ---
    --I'm telling you, I don't remember doing that!
    --Hold on! I'm not the one who did that!
[11:13] ---
    How are so many
    misunderstandings taking place?
[11:16] ---
    Is there a shapeshifting
    fox about, or something?
[11:18] ---
    How could I even be at your restaurant
    when I was eating elsewhere?!
[11:22] ---
    How the hell am I supposed to know?!
[11:24] ---
    This is the same thing I
    went through earlier tonight.
[11:30] ---
    --Infernal!
    --There's an Infernal!
[11:32] ---
    There's an Infernal here, too!
[11:33] ---
    Hurry and call the Fire Force!
[11:36] ---
    Not now!
[11:40] ---
    In the chaos of the fires and the impostors,
    no one will trust anyone now.
[11:44] ---
    Then they will learn that Sol
    is the only thing they can believe in.
[11:49] ---
    Asakusa is a power spot.
[11:52] ---
    Someone compatible may
    come about through the bugs.
[11:55] ---
    Or perhaps another demon may be born.
[11:58] ---
    We'll take advantage of
    the confusion to hit the 8th.
[12:03] ---
    Here we go.
[12:05] ---
    Infernal!
[12:07] ---
    Yo-chan has gone and turned Infernal!
[12:09] ---
    Captain, let's help to put them to rest!
[12:12] ---
    No! This is the 7th's jurisdiction.
    We can't take any action on our own.
[12:17] ---
    You want us to just sit on our hands and watch?
[12:20] ---
    While we may have Tamaki here,
    who has undergone sister training,
[12:24] ---
    she hasn't taken her vows, so we can't
    officially put anyone to rest.
[12:28] ---
    Besides, there are some here who don't
    wish to be put to rest the imperial way.
[12:33] ---
    As far as the people here go,
    if we have to die anyway,
[12:36] ---
    we want to have Benimaru-chan
    be the one putting us to rest.
[12:41] ---
    Where has Waka gone?
[12:44] ---
    The 8th will rescue civilians
    and direct the evacuation!
[12:48] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[12:50] ---
    Maki-san!
[12:53] ---
    We're being sniped at?!
[12:54] ---
    Kusakabe, that was...
[12:57] ---
    Yeah, the same as the time with Rekka.
[13:00] ---
    Stay back! I've got this!
[13:06] ---
    Can't deflect... it...
[13:12] ---
    Transmogrify!
[13:17] ---
    Maki-san!
[13:19] ---
    I'm all right. Sputter came
    leaping into my arms.
[13:24] ---
    I'll draw their fire!
[13:26] ---
    Don't do anything crazy!
[13:27] ---
    Yes, sir!
[13:28] ---
    You go, too, Arthur.
[13:30] ---
    That was in-enviable!
[13:30] ---
    "Correct: 'inevitable'"
[13:35] ---
    It curved?
[13:40] ---
    The second shot may have curved,
[13:42] ---
    but it clearly came from a
    different spot than the first one.
[13:45] ---
    --Just admit it!
[13:46] ---
    --They're taking advantage of the chaos
    to shoot while on the run.
    --Just admit it!
[13:47] ---
    --They're taking advantage of the chaos
    to shoot while on the run.
    --Infernal!
[13:47] ---
    --They're taking advantage of the chaos
    to shoot while on the run.
    --Shut up! Stop shouting!
[13:49] ---
    If they attack again right away,
    the third shot will come from...
[13:53] ---
    ...over there!
[13:57] ---
    Hey, what was that explosion just now?!
[14:00] ---
    That explosion was mostly from my kick.
[14:03] ---
    That flame arrow wasn't about to
    be deflected from its course,
[14:06] ---
    even when I tried to turn it aside.
[14:10] ---
    What's more,
[14:12] ---
    the third shot came from
    a good ways off from me.
[14:16] ---
    Are they trying to avoid me getting too close?
[14:19] ---
    Or maybe they're luring me away to
    separate me from the rest of the 8th.
[14:26] ---
    Even if they are...
[14:28] ---
    Arthur, you keep pursuing them on foot!
[14:30] ---
    I'll direct you to where they're
    shooting from each time!
[14:33] ---
    If you tell me left, or right, or east,
    or whatever, I'm not going to get it.
[14:37] ---
    Make sure you point!
[14:39] ---
    Is he acting big about how dumb he is?
[14:41] ---
    Let's go!
[15:04] ---
    Where is the real Hikage?
[15:06] ---
    Were you also the one who
    transformed into the 8th's captain?
[15:09] ---
    People are untrustworthy. They lie.
    They deceive. They betray. They die easily.
[15:16] ---
    That's why we need Sol.
[15:19] ---
    I didn't ask you about any of that "God" crap!
[15:23] ---
    I only want to hear one thing from you.
[15:25] ---
    Y-You're hurting me...
[15:28] ---
    What have you done with Hikage?
[15:35] ---
    Huh?!
[15:36] ---
    You proto-nationalist scum
    who turn your backs on Sol,
[15:40] ---
    I have nothing to say to any of you.
[15:45] ---
    A vial? Did you...?
[15:53] ---
    Long live the Great Sol and the Evangelist--
[15:56] ---
    The flame...
[15:58] ---
    ...is the soul's breath.
[16:00] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[16:04] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
[16:08] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire.
[16:13] ---
    Látom.
[16:15] ---
    --Látom.
    --Látom.
[16:18] ---
    Gross.
[16:19] ---
    Damn it, what the hell was that?
[16:22] ---
    Was that one of those
    artificial Infernalizations?
[16:26] ---
    Sorry for not doing that
    proto-nationalist style.
[16:28] ---
    No sweat. The guy wasn't
    from Asakusa anyway.
[16:32] ---
    Also...
[16:35] ---
    We tried to evacuate the town's people,
    but they would not do a thing we said.
[16:43] ---
    We need someone who can lead them.
[16:50] ---
    Waka...
[17:03] ---
    Hey! Don't go there, you people!
    That way is an inferno!
[17:07] ---
    Waka! There are Infernals over there, too!
[17:10] ---
    We can't stop them anymore by ourselves!
[17:13] ---
    I'll see to the Infernals. Can you
    somehow direct the townspeople?
[17:18] ---
    There appear to be people throughout
    the town stirring things up.
[17:23] ---
    Konro, what would you do?
[17:30] ---
    Where are you? Where did you go?
[17:47] ---
    You're not getting away!
[18:00] ---
    It's no use. You can't stop my arrow.
[18:13] ---
    White-Clad. You're in league
    with the Evangelist.
[18:17] ---
    Hmph.
[18:21] ---
    Arthur!
[18:24] ---
    Again? That sword has
    a rather strong-willed flame.
[18:29] ---
    Oh, no you don't!
[18:31] ---
    You dumbass! Stay out of my way!
[18:33] ---
    I was trying to help you, you know!
[18:40] ---
    You keep out of this!
[18:42] ---
    No, you keep out of this!
[18:48] ---
    If you can repel my arrows,
    I'll just have to use exploding ones.
[18:57] ---
    Get off of me, now!
[18:58] ---
    You just keep lying down! "Good knight"!
[19:07] ---
    That hooded guy is still coming.
[19:16] ---
    We have to work together, or they'll do us in.
[19:20] ---
    You don't have to tell me, I get it.
[19:22] ---
    Even when I tell you, you still don't get it--
[19:24] ---
    Hmm?
[19:29] ---
    I'm Puts-Up-with-Stuff-That-Sucks Man.
[19:31] ---
    Hmph.
[19:36] ---
    People talk about being on the same page,
    but I'm not expecting that with you.
[19:40] ---
    Let's split these two up somehow.
[19:42] ---
    That does seem like the best plan.
[19:44] ---
    You've got the longer reach,
    so you take the hooded guy.
[19:47] ---
    With my speed I can get in close,
    so I'll take the archer.
[19:51] ---
    The hooded guy moves to protect the archer,
    so we have to peel him away.
[19:56] ---
    --Let's do it!
    --Yeah--
[20:04] ---
    The reason why they can move around so well
[20:06] ---
    is because their forward and rearward
    responsibilities don't overlap.
[20:10] ---
    We need to establish our
    own formation, too. Meaning...
[20:14] ---
    Meaning...?
[20:16] ---
    Like this, right?
[20:25] ---
    You can't escape!
[20:28] ---
    There's no way you're getting away!
[20:39] ---
    Forfei-- Forbear!
[20:41] ---
    "Correct: 'forfeit'"
[20:47] ---
    Fall back, Arrow!
[20:50] ---
    You can't escape!
[20:54] ---
    A bug!
[21:09] ---
    Beni!
[21:13] ---
    Beni!
[21:31] ---
    I don't know your name, but at least
    let me relieve your suffering.
[21:48] ---
    Way to hang in there.
[21:50] ---
    
[21:52] ---
    
[21:54] ---
    
[22:18] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:22] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[22:25] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[22:28] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[22:32] ---
    are not enough to save you
[22:47] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[22:51] ---
    between sights we never reach
[22:54] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[22:57] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[23:01] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[23:04] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[23:08] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[23:13] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[23:17] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[23:20] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[23:23] ---
    are not enough to save you
[23:26] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[23:29] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[23:32] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[23:36] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[23:39] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[23:42] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[23:51] ---
    "Next time"

[00:02] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:09] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:31] ---
    I'm begging you, go where you're directed!
[00:33] ---
    Shut up! I don't want your opinion!
[00:38] ---
    When faced with an unexpected disaster,
[00:41] ---
    those taking the correct course
    of action are roughly 10%.
[00:44] ---
    Those who are frantic and take
    inadequate action make up 20%.
[00:49] ---
    The remaining 70% are struck
    motionless out of shock.
[00:55] ---
    Which is why they need a leader to direct them.
[00:59] ---
    You are the only one who can
    disrupt this situation...
[01:04] ---
    ...demolishing king of Asakusa.
[01:12] ---
    Konro!
[01:14] ---
    I've been looking for you.
[01:15] ---
    Yeah, me, too. The Infernals and the
    fighting in town are only getting worse.
[01:21] ---
    There are misunderstandings all over,
    and nobody knows what's happening.
[01:25] ---
    Apparently, there's an enemy
    that can alter people's faces.
[01:28] ---
    Then tell that to the folks in town!
[01:31] ---
    They won't listen to anyone else but you!
[01:34] ---
    Give a speech that will calm Asakusa down!
[01:37] ---
    That is not my duty to perform, sir.
[01:41] ---
    Everyone down there is waiting for
    the big man to bring order out of chaos.
[01:47] ---
    Yeah, which is why I came here.
    It's because everybody is so upset
[01:51] ---
    that we need to hear from someone
    with your kind of level-headed judgment.
[01:56] ---
    Waka, are you still talking like that?
[02:08] ---
    You can't keep deferring to me.
[02:12] ---
    It's time for you to make your resolve, already.
[02:16] ---
    No matter what anyone else says,
    Asakusa is your town, Waka.
[02:24] ---
    They don't want to hear just anyone's words;
[02:26] ---
    they want to hear the words of Beni.
[02:38] ---
    Konro, get down off the tower.
[02:42] ---
    Yes, sir.
[02:45] ---
    Someone like me can't do anything
    else but tear things down.
[02:50] ---
    That's the best you can expect.
[02:56] ---
    I'm going to smash things up.
[02:58] ---
    "Episode 14:
    For Whom the Flames Burn"
[03:08] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[03:09] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[03:13] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[03:16] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[03:18] ---
    The end is illuminated
[03:20] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[03:23] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[03:26] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[03:28] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[03:33] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[03:40] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:45] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[03:51] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[03:55] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[04:01] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[04:06] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[04:09] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[04:12] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[04:17] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[04:21] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[04:27] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[04:42] ---
    --Hey, out of the way, dumbass!
    --You wanna get your ass kicked?!
[04:44] ---
    That's enough, both of you!
[04:45] ---
    Let me more hear of this shouting.
[04:49] ---
    Ah, how rowdy.
[04:52] ---
    Marvelous! This chaos is art!
[04:57] ---
    Marvelous art of my making!
[05:03] ---
    What was that?
[05:11] ---
    Beni!
[05:12] ---
    It's Beni-chan!
[05:12] ---
    Benimaru!
[05:14] ---
    Beni?
[05:16] ---
    Th-The tower...
[05:18] ---
    That's crazy.
[05:28] ---
    Do you hear me, Asakusa?!
[05:43] ---
    Right now, our town is
    under attack from the outside!
[05:48] ---
    They make themselves look just like
    Asakusa folk, and trick us!
[05:56] ---
    There's no way to tell who they are!
[05:59] ---
    We are going to get nowhere like this!
[06:03] ---
    But... I don't give a damn!
[06:07] ---
    Yeah! Beni! Right! Right!
[06:10] ---
    You must have something
    in mind to be saying that!
[06:16] ---
    He changed the whole atmosphere
    in the blink of an eye.
[06:19] ---
    This is what they mean when they say
    "the word from on high."
[06:23] ---
    Waka!
[06:25] ---
    Captain Shinmon, what are your orders?!
[06:37] ---
    All of you start clobbering each other!
    Doesn't matter if you're fake or real!
[06:43] ---
    The people of Asakusa will not be
    outdone by a bunch of impostors!
[06:47] ---
    Don't worry. The 7th will see to
    the fires and the Infernals.
[06:53] ---
    Beat each other up for all you're worth!
[07:04] ---
    Festival's on! Festival!
[07:06] ---
    Fight-fest!
[07:11] ---
    Haran...
[07:13] ---
    You ate a flame bug?
[07:18] ---
    This is Asakusa. A power spot.
    A demon might even appear.
[07:24] ---
    So why don't I test that out on myself?
[07:35] ---
    He turned himself into an Infernal.
[07:44] ---
    Not just any Infernal. An Infernal with horns.
[07:50] ---
    A demon.
[07:55] ---
    --Ow!
    --Now you've done it!
[07:57] ---
    That hurt, you bastard!
[08:01] ---
    How barbaric. This is not art!
[08:09] ---
    There are definitely impostors being
    beaten up with the real townspeople.
[08:12] ---
    Should we start punching each other, too?
[08:14] ---
    Give me a break, sir.
[08:24] ---
    7th, your sparring partners will be the fires!
    Get to work putting them out!
[08:28] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[08:31] ---
    Lieutenant Konro, you sure seem happy.
[08:35] ---
    Well of course I'm happy.
[08:37] ---
    Honestly, he kept us waiting long enough.
[08:50] ---
    It looks like I've found my opponent.
[09:05] ---
    That... looks like him.
[09:40] ---
    Huh?
[09:42] ---
    That was an Adolla Link, huh? You really
    don't belong in the Fire Force.
[09:48] ---
    What was that?
[09:50] ---
    Devil, yours are the flames
    that exterminate mankind.
[09:55] ---
    Hey, you dumbass devil! Help me out!
[10:00] ---
    Arthur!
[10:01] ---
    Huh? The bow chick... is gone?
[10:21] ---
    You're hard!
[10:32] ---
    You're facing me now.
[10:40] ---
    Hey, captain of the 7th,
    this isn't any ordinary Infernal.
[10:46] ---
    Two years ago, a horned Infernal
    appeared here in Asakusa.
[10:51] ---
    It's the reason why Konro has his tephrosis.
[10:55] ---
    You guys stay out of this.
    I'm taking over this fight.
[11:12] ---
    Hikage-chan!
[11:15] ---
    Hikage!
[11:16] ---
    Hika!
[11:20] ---
    There's someone over there.
[11:22] ---
    Over there?
[11:29] ---
    You said you'd give me treats
    in exchange for my kimono,
[11:32] ---
    but they weren't nearly enough!
[11:35] ---
    Damn you! I didn't even tell Hina!
    Now Hina won't be happy, either!
[11:41] ---
    Hika!
[11:43] ---
    That jerk who pretended to be you
    was so gross! Let's beat them silly.
[11:48] ---
    Huh? So these guys are villains after all?
[11:51] ---
    --Hee-hee-hee!
    --Hee-hee-hee!
[11:53] ---
    --Yi-i-ikes!
    --Yi-i-ikes!
[11:59] ---
    --That's hot! That's so hot! Hey!
    --That's hot! That's so hot! Hey!
[12:31] ---
    He's easily turning aside that
    demon's ferocious attacks.
[12:43] ---
    Ow. You're a hard one, all right.
[12:47] ---
    Two years ago, Konro opened up
    a gigantic hole in the ground.
[12:52] ---
    That means I'm gonna need about
    the same amount of firepower.
[12:56] ---
    This is for what happened to Konro.
[13:00] ---
    I can't afford to blow the whole
    town apart in the process, though!
[13:13] ---
    I'm just gonna take us someplace
    a little more open.
[13:18] ---
    Two Infernals at nine o'clock,
    at the intersection 200 meters away.
[13:22] ---
    Yes, sir!
[13:23] ---
    What's that?!
[13:24] ---
    It's the captain!
[13:26] ---
    The sky, huh? Beni is the only one
    who could pull this stunt off.
[13:34] ---
    They're targeting Beni?!
[13:37] ---
    I don't care how strong he is,
    one direct hit and he's finished.
[13:40] ---
    Oh, no you don't!
[13:52] ---
    Beni...
[13:57] ---
    My body... won't move...
    Somebody... save Beni...
[14:04] ---
    Before you decide to give
    your life away, please use me!
[14:09] ---
    Save Beni...
[14:13] ---
    Shinra!
[14:19] ---
    What was that? My legs again...
[14:23] ---
    Thanks. I appreciate how you feel.
[14:28] ---
    Lieutenant Konro?
[14:32] ---
    That's...
[14:33] ---
    I've got you.
[14:35] ---
    What's the matter?!
[14:37] ---
    No you don't!
[14:41] ---
    The Devil's Footprints?
[14:45] ---
    Let me be in time!
[15:07] ---
    Shinra!
[15:09] ---
    What speed he has.
[15:11] ---
    He caught up to my arrow.
[15:14] ---
    Still...
[15:20] ---
    You can't deflect my arrow
    with the will of your flames.
[15:29] ---
    You really don't belong in the Fire Force.
[15:35] ---
    Devil, yours are the flames
    that exterminate mankind.
[15:40] ---
    Screw that.
[15:44] ---
    Mine are the flames that preserve mankind!
[15:51] ---
    Shinra...
[15:53] ---
    Come on!
[15:57] ---
    Look up in the sky!
[15:58] ---
    What is that?
[16:00] ---
    You, who possess an Adolla Burst,
    like the commander,
[16:04] ---
    choose to be a tool of the ignoble?
[16:07] ---
    Become a devil with us.
[16:10] ---
    Help us burn this world down.
[16:13] ---
    I'm going to be a hero that
    saves everyone with my flames!
[16:17] ---
    I'm going to prove that right now!
[16:20] ---
    I'm Kick-This-Away-Whatever-It-Takes Man!
[16:25] ---
    What?
[16:28] ---
    He did it!
[16:32] ---
    Captain Shinmon!
[16:35] ---
    I'll take it from here.
[16:38] ---
    This altitude should be high enough.
[16:58] ---
    Iai Chop, Form Seven:
[17:02] ---
    Sun Wheel!
[17:06] ---
    Tch, not even that can crack you, huh?
[17:10] ---
    Captain! Let him have it!
[17:12] ---
    Keep Asakusa safe!
[17:13] ---
    Go, Beni!
[17:15] ---
    I don't care about the Evangelist or
    the White-Clad, but Asakusa is my town!
[17:21] ---
    I won't have anyone acting big in my home.
[17:25] ---
    That's right, Beni. This is your town.
[17:29] ---
    I'm going to have to borrow your move, Konro.
[17:40] ---
    Those flames were...
[17:44] ---
    ...the Crimson Moon...
[17:48] ---
    That was an explosion
    caused by a single person?
[17:51] ---
    What firepower!
[17:53] ---
    That's why they call him
    the mightiest Fire Soldier.
[18:00] ---
    Those flames were a tiny bit arty.
[18:05] ---
    I hate them. I feel jealous.
[18:08] ---
    Yona, we're withdrawing.
    We have to report this to the commander.
[18:12] ---
    We confirmed that a second demon was born
    in the same spot. This is a bonanza.
[18:20] ---
    Haran, your life wasn't for naught.
[18:31] ---
    Awesome...
[18:47] ---
    I really overdid it. I'm burned out.
[18:53] ---
    Lieutenant Konro, we've put out
    all the fires in town.
[18:57] ---
    There are no more Infernals, either.
[19:00] ---
    Good work. We'll have to thank
    the folks from the 8th, too.
[19:06] ---
    Particularly Shinra.
[19:12] ---
    "To be continued"
[19:16] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[19:19] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[19:22] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[19:25] ---
    are not enough to save you
[19:41] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[19:45] ---
    between sights we never reach
[19:48] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[19:51] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[19:55] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[19:58] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[20:02] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[20:07] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[20:11] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[20:13] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[20:17] ---
    are not enough to save you
[20:20] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[20:23] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[20:26] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[20:30] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[20:33] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[20:36] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[20:52] ---
    They sure did repair a lot of it overnight, huh?
[20:59] ---
    If all the king of demolition
    ever did was demolish,
[21:02] ---
    the townspeople wouldn't
    appreciate him nearly as much.
[21:05] ---
    Captain!
[21:07] ---
    About that Evangelist-involved
    company from our records.
[21:11] ---
    What did you find?
[21:12] ---
    Their office was burned down.
[21:14] ---
    It appears they took advantage of
    all the chaos to destroy the evidence.
[21:18] ---
    So they figured out the Special Fire Force's
    purpose here, and took action.
[21:22] ---
    This is a pretty sharp bunch.
[21:24] ---
    Our fighting this time around
    took its toll on the city, as well.
[21:28] ---
    I just hope this doesn't make them
    ramp up their activities.
[21:40] ---
    You're going back to the 8th?
    I appreciate all the help.
[21:44] ---
    --Yeah, thanks!
    --Yeah, thanks!
[21:45] ---
    Oh, no. Our coming here might have been
    the trigger that set everything off.
[21:51] ---
    Even if it was,
[21:53] ---
    it doesn't change the fact that the
    Evangelist's goons were lurking here.
[21:57] ---
    All the human combustion here up to now
    might even have been their doing.
[22:02] ---
    But we were able to put a stop to it.
[22:07] ---
    Konro, bring it here.
[22:09] ---
    Yes, sir.
[22:10] ---
    "It"?
[22:12] ---
    I may not like the imperial Fire Force,
    but I do like the 8th.
[22:17] ---
    Hey, musclebound dummy!
[22:18] ---
    And his crew!
[22:20] ---
    The next time you come here,
    you better bring candy, or we'll be mad!
[22:24] ---
    And make sure you bring stuff that doesn't suck!
[22:27] ---
    --Bye-bye-kins!
    --Bye-bye-kins!
[22:32] ---
    Japanese saké?
[22:36] ---
    We exchange saké cups as
    a token of mutual goodwill.
[22:41] ---
    It's a rite of friendship from the old country.
[22:44] ---
    You don't like saké?
[22:46] ---
    I love it!
[22:57] ---
    This means the 7th and the 8th
    are now friends, right?
[23:03] ---
    Good to know you.
[23:05] ---
    Huh? That's a hell of a smile.
[23:06] ---
    What is the matter with his face?
[23:09] ---
    Could he really be that happy
    to make friends with all of us?
[23:13] ---
    When Beni drinks saké, he becomes
    the king of glee, and can't stop smiling.
[23:18] ---
    How do you figure I'm gleeful?
[23:21] ---
    Obi Akitaru, was it?
[23:23] ---
    If anything comes up,
    give me a call anytime.
[23:25] ---
    Right. Now that we're drinking buddies,
    let's help each other out.
[23:32] ---
    That smile is a bit off-putting.
[23:36] ---
    You know, I have to say...
[23:46] ---
    What's so funny, you little brat?
[23:49] ---
    
[23:49] ---

[00:08] ---
    A long time ago, mankind was
    touched by the planet's anger,
[00:12] ---
    and the world was engulfed in flames.
[00:14] ---
    It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
[00:17] ---
    The flames burned ferociously,
[00:20] ---
    with an intensity threatening to
    incinerate the places mankind lived,
[00:23] ---
    the languages they spoke,
    and the culture they had built up.
[00:47] ---
    --Látom.
    --Látom.
[00:49] ---
    Haran has been martyred,
    and returned to the flame.

[00:57] ---
    However, a new demon was born there. Also...
[01:01] ---
    "Knights of the Ashen Flame"
    "Primary Vice-Commander"
    "Arrow"
[01:06] ---
    ...we confirmed that the Adolla Burst
    possessed by the 8th's new recruit...
[01:09] ---
    ...had an Adolla Link with the demon.
[01:12] ---
    An Adolla Link? I want it at any cost.
    It is what the Evangelist desires.
[01:18] ---
    It would be a waste to
    leave it in the Fire Force.
[01:22] ---
    It may also be connected...
[01:26] ---
    I will go along next time.
[01:28] ---
    "Knights of the Ashen Flame"

    "Sho Kusakabe"
[01:32] ---
    Supplementary crewmen? I don't care
    who they are, that was unusually fast.
[01:36] ---
    Haijima said the 8th doesn't
    have a science team,
[01:39] ---
    so they strong-armed this one through.
[01:42] ---
    They're plotting something.
[01:45] ---
    Strong-armed?
[01:46] ---
    I thought that it was because
    after the Evangelist incident,
[01:50] ---
    each company was instructed by
    the empire to beef up their forensics.
[01:53] ---
    It's true, our science team is lacking,
    and we have been searching,
[01:58] ---
    but we have been making do with
    help from the 5th's Captain Hibana.
[02:01] ---
    Yes, but you can't rely on another
    company's captain forever, can you?
[02:07] ---
    Which is why I'm here from Haijima.

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

[04:32] ---
    Advanced placement into
    Tokyo Imperial University.
[04:36] ---
    On top of which, after graduating
    at the top of your class,
[04:39] ---
    you headed the applied pyrokinesiology
    lab at Haijima Heavy Industries.
[04:45] ---
    So I'm brilliant. Sorry.
[04:48] ---
    --So why would someone as brilliant
    as you join a dump like the 8th?
[04:51] ---
    --Hey!
    --So why would someone as brilliant
    as you join a dump like the 8th?
[04:52] ---
    --So why would someone as brilliant
    as you join a dump like the 8th?
[04:54] ---
    I used to be all cooped up
    by myself in my lab at Haijima,
[04:58] ---
    so I thought I'd get my hands on some raw data
[05:00] ---
    through an outfit that was much
    closer to the scene of the action.
[05:03] ---
    If there are any problems, you can
    kick me out, but please let me join you.
[05:09] ---
    From what I can see,
    far from having a science team,
[05:11] ---
    you don't even have an engineer, do you?

[05:22] ---
    We have a line on an engineer.
    Lieutenant, have you contacted him yet?
[05:27] ---
    No, still no word from Vulcan.
[05:29] ---
    You guys are trying to get him on your crew?
[05:33] ---
    Who is he?
[05:35] ---
    From Haijima to the Special Fire Force,
[05:38] ---
    everyone who's tried to recruit him
    so far has been turned away.
[05:42] ---
    He's Vulcan--
[05:45] ---
    someone with crackerjack skill
    that lives up to the name
[05:47] ---
    of the God of Fire and the Forge.
[05:53] ---
    Perhaps we should pay a visit to
    his workshop directly sometime soon.
[05:57] ---
    I wouldn't recommend it. He hates Haijima,
[06:02] ---
    and apparently also hates the
    Special Fire Force for dealing with them.
[06:05] ---
    You'll just end up getting driven away.
[06:07] ---
    Shinra,
[06:08] ---
    would you head over to Vulcan's workshop
    with Arthur and the sister?
[06:13] ---
    I want you to go see if he's someone
    appropriate for the 8th.
[06:18] ---
    You want us to go and make
    such an important decision?
[06:22] ---
    You're around the same age as Vulcan.
[06:25] ---
    Don't be too eager. Just go by
    how you honestly feel about it.
[06:29] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[06:32] ---
    Better go in your street clothes
    so you don't look too uptight.
[06:36] ---
    But there's no need to be
    cagey about who we are.
[06:39] ---
    Be sure not to mislead him about anything.
[06:42] ---
    He being who he is, if you just
    get to say hello, you'll be successful.
[06:46] ---
    Roger wilco, sir!
[06:49] ---
    --Whereas the other companies tried
    to address him with money or status,
    --"Roger wilco"? What does that mean?
[06:52] ---
    --Whereas the other companies tried
    to address him with money or status,
    --It's something the people at the 7th were using.
[06:53] ---
    --they're persuading him with these kids.
    --It's something the people
    at the 7th were using.
[06:54] ---
    --they're persuading him with these kids.
    --What a delightful expression.
[06:55] ---
    --What a delightful expression.
[06:57] ---
    Vulcan has a bona fide hatred of
    the Fire Force. This is a fool's errand.
[07:02] ---
    We at the 8th are trying to
    transform this country.
[07:05] ---
    Might as well go for it.
[07:08] ---
    Always with the fascinating moves.
[07:13] ---
    I guess we'll get to see...
[07:16] ---
    ...if the 8th will be useful to us
    for achieving our objective.
[07:26] ---
    I've seen the animal with the
    long snout in a picture book before.
[07:30] ---
    Let's see, what was it called again?
    "Elephant," was it?
[07:35] ---
    This place is incredible.
[07:38] ---
    Excuse us, please!
[07:43] ---
    Maybe he isn't in.
[07:45] ---
    Maybe he's pretending not to be in.
[07:47] ---
    Second Class Fire Soldier Arthur Boyle,
    the Knight King!
[07:53] ---
    You dare show hostility toward the Knight King?
[07:56] ---
    He was reacting to you being a Fire Soldier!
[07:59] ---
    Get lost!
[08:02] ---
    Ee-yow!
[08:02] ---
    "Stinging"
[08:04] ---
    Hmph, how thickheaded.
[08:08] ---
    Eep!
[08:12] ---
    Ah! Hey, you! Stop screwing around
    and get out here!
[08:15] ---
    Projectile weapons don't work against Knights!
[08:18] ---
    Um, was there something you needed?
[08:21] ---
    --Huh?!
    --Huh?!
[08:26] ---
    Látom.
[08:29] ---
    Please excuse us. We're here from
    Special Fire Force Company 8.
[08:33] ---
    I'm First Class Fire Soldier Shinra Kusakabe.
[08:38] ---
    I'm a hero.
[08:39] ---
    If you Fire Soldiers have come here,
[08:43] ---
    you must want to recruit the master.
[08:47] ---
    Master? I've returned with
    the parts you asked for.
[08:52] ---
    Eep!
[08:55] ---
    Yu, I told you not to call me "master."
[08:58] ---
    Either call me "Vulcan" or "scumbag."
[09:01] ---
    Okay, Vulcan, I have all the parts in my bag.
[09:08] ---
    --Hold it, scumbag!
    --Hold it, scumbag!
[09:11] ---
    Hey, that's enough--
[09:13] ---
    What? There's someone else inside?
[09:17] ---
    I'm not helping Fire Soldiers. Leave!
[09:23] ---
    He really is a dyed-in-the-wool
    hater of Fire Soldiers, isn't he?
[09:29] ---
    Aw, we're gonna get nowhere if
    he's this defiant right off the bat.
[09:34] ---
    Let's get out of here.
[09:35] ---
    Just a moment, please!
[09:39] ---
    I'll hear what you have to say,
    if that's all right.
[09:42] ---
    "Episode 15:
    The Blacksmith's Dream"
[09:49] ---
    The sound of his work is rhythmic.
[09:52] ---
    Did Vulcan make everything around here?
[09:55] ---
    Pretty much.
[09:57] ---
    There's stuff from his father
    and grandfather, too, though.
[10:00] ---
    Yu, was it? Does Vulcan make you
    run his errands for him?
[10:04] ---
    Of course he doesn't make me.
[10:07] ---
    I'm sort of Vulcan's self-styled apprentice.
[10:12] ---
    I've always loved tinkering with machines,
[10:14] ---
    and after falling in love with Vulcan's skill,
[10:16] ---
    I ended up supporting him with his work.
[10:19] ---
    Although lately, I am more like his gofer.
[10:23] ---
    Hm? It wasn't like this before?
[10:28] ---
    Vulcan's skill is the real deal.
[10:30] ---
    His security, the precision of his work,
    his speed, his creativity...
[10:35] ---
    He has everything a craftsman needs.
[10:39] ---
    His taste in skulls may be
    a bit troubling, though.
[10:44] ---
    So he gets a lot of recruiters
    from Haijima and the Fire Force.
[10:50] ---
    But Vulcan sends away every last one of them.
[10:55] ---
    As a result, thanks to some doing by Haijima,
    who was not amused by this,
[10:59] ---
    the merchants that were once
    providing materials to Vulcan
[11:02] ---
    have now all stopped doing so.
[11:07] ---
    That's where I come in,
[11:08] ---
    running around to different junk dealers
    to collect his materials.
[11:12] ---
    No wonder he hates Haijima.
[11:16] ---
    Still, it seems like there's some other reason
[11:20] ---
    for Vulcan's hatred of Haijima
    and the Fire Force.
[11:23] ---
    The 8th isn't like the other companies.
    I guarantee it.
[11:29] ---
    So, can I ask you to at least get Vulcan
    to hear what we have to say?
[11:35] ---
    You're from the Fire Force, but you're
    not like all the others before you.
[11:41] ---
    All right. With that in mind...
[11:54] ---
    You're sure about coming in
    without asking first?
[11:57] ---
    I may have Vulcan getting mad at me, but...
[12:00] ---
    Eep!
[12:03] ---
    Wait, this is a machine?
[12:06] ---
    "Stinging"
[12:07] ---
    Ow! Was that a knuckleball?!
[12:09] ---
    Another machine?!
[12:11] ---
    This is Lisa-san. She lives with Vulcan-san.
[12:15] ---
    Hey, Yu!
[12:17] ---
    Don't go letting the Special Fire Force in here!
[12:19] ---
    Ow! You're hurting me!
[12:29] ---
    He's putting that together with awesome speed.
[12:31] ---
    Almost like he's beating on drums.
[12:37] ---
    Huh?!
[12:42] ---
    Yes! Done!
[12:44] ---
    Why did you kick it after you just
    finished making it? You'll break it.
[12:48] ---
    A machine that would break that easily
    is no different than a defective unit.
[12:52] ---
    And hey, who said you could come in here?!
[12:55] ---
    Now, now, easy...
[12:56] ---
    Hey, Yu, what are you doing?!
    We have guests! Bring some tea!
[13:00] ---
    Yes, sir!
[13:02] ---
    Oh... Thanks.
[13:04] ---
    As if!
[13:06] ---
    At least hear us out!
[13:08] ---
    I've heard more than enough Fire Soldier tripe.
[13:12] ---
    You've got nothing I want to hear!
[13:15] ---
    Idiot.
[13:19] ---
    Vul, it's him again.
[13:25] ---
    All right.
[13:29] ---
    You'll be all right by yourself?
[13:31] ---
    No problem.
[13:40] ---
    "Special Fire Force Company 3"
    "Captain"
    "Dr. Giovanni"
[13:44] ---
    It's the captain of the 3rd.
[13:47] ---
    The 3rd is the one that's
    under Haijima's control.
[13:50] ---
    Haijima is going to snatch up Vulcan.
[13:52] ---
    But if Vulcan goes there,
    his dream won't ever come true.
[14:08] ---
    How has your work been going ever since?
[14:14] ---
    You've liked animals since
    you were a child, haven't you?
[14:19] ---
    That was a damn dirty trick to play!
[14:21] ---
    You're the one who stopped the supply line
    to my workshop, aren't you?!
[14:25] ---
    Do you see now that you can't
    build things with just blueprints?
[14:29] ---
    Stop being so stubborn and come join the 3rd.
[14:34] ---
    We have all the material you need.
[14:36] ---
    I wouldn't even change a mini light bulb
    under your directions!
[14:40] ---
    This is your final warning.
[14:43] ---
    Don't blame me if you choose to ignore it.
[14:47] ---
    Are you going to kill me if I do,
    like you did my pop and granddad?
[14:54] ---
    What are you talking about?
[14:55] ---
    You backstabber!
[14:59] ---
    What a pity.
[15:01] ---
    Your genius will be lost
    if you stay in a scrapyard like this.
[15:07] ---
    Are you still carrying on
    about the world's animals?
[15:11] ---
    Shut up!
[15:13] ---
    It's a worthless dream.
[15:15] ---
    Don't you sneer at my dreams
    when you left for money and power!
[15:20] ---
    If you were to offer your skill
    and talents to the empire,
[15:24] ---
    just imagine how many people's
    lives could be saved.
[15:28] ---
    Your dream is so preposterous,
    it isn't even funny.
[15:37] ---
    You still here, you damn Fire Soldier?
[15:40] ---
    So Haijima is exerting pressure?
[15:43] ---
    It doesn't have anything to do with you.
[15:45] ---
    Yes it does.
[15:47] ---
    The 8th was formed to do internal
    investigations of the other companies.
[15:52] ---
    We're not like the companies who are
    constrained by outside organizations.
[15:55] ---
    We genuinely want to save people.
[15:58] ---
    So, Vulcan, we want to help you.
[16:05] ---
    Where did that come from?!
[16:09] ---
    Sorry. I touched where I shouldn't have,
    and it did something it shouldn't have.
[16:12] ---
    Don't touch where you shouldn't.
    We're having a serious talk, here.
[16:16] ---
    "Anticipation"
[16:16] ---
    What does this do?
[16:18] ---
    No! Under no circumstances push that!
[16:20] ---
    Why'd you do that?!
[16:24] ---
    Hey, this isn't stopping.
[16:27] ---
    Then hold it!
[16:29] ---
    What's this here?
[16:31] ---
    No, don't touch that, either!
[16:32] ---
    Pushy-push!
[16:34] ---
    The elephant!
[16:38] ---
    What does this do?
[16:40] ---
    Not this one!
[16:41] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[16:47] ---
    How are you guys so messed up?
    Are you really Fire Soldiers?
[16:53] ---
    You can't go back without
    accomplishing anything, can you?
[16:59] ---
    I'm about to show you something
    that will make your trip worth it,
[17:03] ---
    so once I do, leave me in peace.
[17:05] ---
    What is it?
[17:07] ---
    I haven't seen it in a long time, either!
[17:09] ---
    Hey,
[17:10] ---
    can I take this with me, too?
[17:12] ---
    Leave it here.
[17:16] ---
    That should do it.
[17:18] ---
    What is it? Did you make it?
[17:21] ---
    I made it with my pop and
    granddad when I was a kid.
[17:25] ---
    Now, just watch.
[17:32] ---
    I don't ever want to make
    just ordinary machines.
[17:53] ---
    Did you know that long ago,
[17:56] ---
    there were over 1,750,000
    species of animals in the world?
[18:00] ---
    A-Awesome...
[18:03] ---
    Are these... elephants?
[18:14] ---
    Are those...?
[18:16] ---
    Migratory birds. Once, they flew around
    from continent to continent,
[18:21] ---
    but now, there's nowhere left
    for them to go home to.
[18:28] ---
    Why is this?
[18:30] ---
    I just can't... hold back my tears...
[18:35] ---
    Amaterasu can only provide energy
    for the empire's people.
[18:40] ---
    So I want to create an energy source
[18:43] ---
    that will allow the whole world
    to come back to life,
[18:46] ---
    and bring the animals that have
    gone extinct back into this world.
[18:50] ---
    That's my dream.
[18:53] ---
    Someone who can use technology
    for lives other than his own...
[19:01] ---
    Captain Obi, Vulcan is a good fit for the 8th!
[19:26] ---
    Every time I see it, it's fantastic!
    Shinra-san, what did you all think?
[19:31] ---
    I was impressed!
[19:34] ---
    Holy cow.
[19:36] ---
    Listen, Vulcan, I'm sure
    you'll love the 8th, too!
[19:40] ---
    Would you at least come and
    meet our captain, just once?
[19:44] ---
    No.
[19:46] ---
    No matter what you tell me,
[19:47] ---
    I'm not keen on associating with anyone
    who's under Haijima's thumb.
[19:51] ---
    I'll go my own way.
[19:55] ---
    Same old Vulcan.
[19:57] ---
    How long have you been with him?
[19:59] ---
    I lost my parents in a fire
    caused by an Infernal.
[20:04] ---
    I lost everyone close to me,
    and almost got stuck into a convent,
[20:09] ---
    but I'm not about to become a sister.
[20:11] ---
    Oh, sorry. You're a sister, aren't you?
[20:15] ---
    Oh, that's okay.
[20:17] ---
    I... ran away from there.
[20:22] ---
    But...
[20:24] ---
    I lost my place to stay out of the rain,
[20:26] ---
    and when I spent the night in this scrapyard...
[20:32] ---
    ...Vulcan took me in.
[20:35] ---
    He's a kind man, isn't he?
[20:38] ---
    He's kind, all right. Unusually so.
[20:42] ---
    No matter how much more Vulcan
    has to look after others,
[20:44] ---
    he just figures he can work that much harder.
[20:49] ---
    Whose grave is this?
[20:50] ---
    That's Vulcan's father and grandfather's grave.
[20:53] ---
    I heard they both became Infernals
    at the same time.
[20:57] ---
    Is that something that happens a lot?
    Vulcan seems skeptical of Giovanni.
[21:04] ---
    Why does he suspect Giovanni?
[21:06] ---
    Vulcan's grandfather had two apprentices.
[21:10] ---
    One of them was Vulcan's father;
    the other one was Giovanni.
[21:15] ---
    Right after the two of them
    died unnatural deaths,
[21:18] ---
    Giovanni went to work for Haijima.
[21:20] ---
    That's something that was strictly
    forbidden by their master.
[21:24] ---
    Forbidden?
[21:26] ---
    Vulcan's whole family has apparently
    had history with Haijima going way back.
[21:34] ---
    I should be getting in to start
    making Vul his supper.
[21:38] ---
    I hate to say this, but you
    should give up and leave.
[21:42] ---
    I'm sorry I wasn't any more help.
[21:44] ---
    Don't be like that--
[21:47] ---
    The time has come. Kill Vulcan.
[21:54] ---
    It's that same sensation as before.
[21:58] ---
    That time, it was Lieutenant
    Konro's cry for help.
[22:02] ---
    This time, it's Dr. Giovanni's hostile intent.
[22:06] ---
    It doesn't look like we can persuade him.
[22:08] ---
    Maybe we should head back to the 8th for now.
[22:12] ---
    We can't leave here now.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[22:00] ---

[22:03] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:09] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head

[22:15] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[22:32] ---
    He that used his claws on me
[22:34] ---
    Uses the same claws to defend someone else
[22:37] ---
    Weapons turn into both wounds and shields
[22:39] ---
    Isn't that what life's about?
[22:43] ---
    A secret known to none
[22:44] ---
    For so long almost seems to disappear
    but never does
[22:48] ---
    Been holding on to it
[22:50] ---
    While spending a night in the fire
[22:53] ---
    The more they're attracted,
    the more the ignorant laugh
[22:55] ---
    What used to make up the universe
    until yesterday takes the helm
[22:58] ---
    The entire range of emotions that breathes
[23:01] ---
    Don't want to take away
    what I haven't even experienced
[23:05] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head
    and I'll go back to myself
[23:11] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[23:17] ---
    Don't get in my way anymore
[23:21] ---
    I won't be killed by your ideals

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

[00:08] ---
    As the world was being covered in ash,
    one man appeared.
[00:13] ---
    He would be later be called Raffles I.
[00:17] ---
    Raffles took his disciples and
    left on a journey in search of light.
[00:22] ---
    At the end of his journey,
    he found an "unsullied flame,"
[00:26] ---
    and brought forth the light that
    would be mankind's salvation.
[00:43] ---
    Here I come, Sho!
[00:44] ---
    Stop playing at being my brother!
[00:51] ---
    This is unpleasant. Why do you persist?
[00:54] ---
    You have no memories of me, either, do you?
[00:56] ---
    Yes, your face! When you were
    a baby, Sho, you'd laugh, and cry,
[01:00] ---
    and act a lot more human!
[01:06] ---
    Was that too dark? It's all right now.
    Your big brother helped you out.
[01:12] ---
    That was your memory.
    What an unpleasant vision.
[01:17] ---
    Stop coming in uninvited!
[01:18] ---
    We used to be brothers!
[01:20] ---
    Stop!
[01:21] ---
    No way!
[01:23] ---
    Not until I get the real you back!
[01:28] ---
    Accelerate...
[01:30] ---
    ...back to the time when we were brothers...
[01:33] ---
    ...and take hold of it!
[01:43] ---
    You're the devil. Devil!
[01:45] ---
    You disgust me.
[01:46] ---
    Just look at his face. When his family died,
[01:51] ---
    word is that's the way he smiled.
[01:55] ---
    These are Shinra Kusakabe's memories?
[02:02] ---
    Just hold on.
[02:03] ---
    Shinra Kusakabe's memories
    are flowing into my head.
[02:15] ---
    Frankly,
[02:16] ---
    I don't know what kind of feelings
    I'll have when I see you, Sho.
[02:21] ---
    Even so, the promise I made Mom
[02:24] ---
    is the bond that keeps our family together!
[02:29] ---
    Promises... Bonds...
[02:32] ---
    What do those things even mean?
[02:36] ---
    You're right. The promise I made
    to Mom is important to me,
[02:40] ---
    but now that I'm seeing you like this...
[02:43] ---
    ...the promise doesn't have
    anything to do with it.
[02:46] ---
    Whatever the case, it doesn't matter to me.
[02:50] ---
    Are you sure?
[02:58] ---
    Look, Kusakabe is here.
[03:00] ---
    Mother-killer.
[03:02] ---
    I heard he killed his baby brother, too.
[03:04] ---
    Huh? How?
[03:06] ---
    He burned him up. What is he, a devil?
[03:09] ---
    It wasn't me. Someone was there...
    during the fire...
[03:14] ---
    Someone besides Mom and Sho.
[03:18] ---
    I'm going to find him... and I swear,
    no matter what, I'll tear him a new one!
[03:23] ---
    Did you see his face just now?
[03:25] ---
    He's the devil.
[03:26] ---
    Leave me alone. Ever since the fire,
    I get that nervous smile.
[03:32] ---
    I killed Sho?
[03:35] ---
    I'm not the devil!
[03:39] ---
    I'd sure like to see you again...
[03:42] ---
    Mom... Sho...
[03:47] ---
    What is the point of
    showing me these memories?
[03:50] ---
    I am not your brother!
[03:55] ---
    You and I are the same.
[03:58] ---
    How is it that when we were little,
    we were able to smile,
[04:01] ---
    but now, neither of can openly do so anymore?
[04:04] ---
    I don't have a past. I don't need a past.
[04:24] ---
    Is this memory... one which I've lost?
[04:28] ---
    Twelve years ago, we were a family.
[04:33] ---
    Mom, and you, and me.
[04:39] ---
    Up until that fire broke out,
[04:41] ---
    you and I both could smile
    without having to think about it.
[04:46] ---
    We just merrily smiled, every day, with Mom...
[04:49] ---
    ...and we were happy.
[04:52] ---
    We were brothers, and we were a family.
[04:56] ---
    Sho...
[04:57] ---
    Shinra...
[05:00] ---
    I love you.
[05:03] ---
    This woman... is our mother...?
[05:07] ---
    Mom, what are you making?
[05:09] ---
    Hamburger.
[05:11] ---
    Hooray!
[05:14] ---
    I'm washing my hands now, just hold on, okay?
[05:17] ---
    Let me handle it, Mom. I'll go help him.
[05:20] ---
    I'm coming, Sho!
[05:24] ---
    Are you okay? Your big brother
    is here, so don't you worry.
[05:30] ---
    The wind must have blown that on you.
[05:33] ---
    Sorry, sorry. I'll get that for you right now.
[05:39] ---
    Dark... Scary... Help...
[05:47] ---
    The light...
[05:50] ---
    Was that too dark? It's all right now.
    Your big brother helped you out.
[05:57] ---
    Stop crying, now. Your big brother is a hero.
[06:04] ---
    See? Don't worry. Your big brother
    will always be in your corner.
[06:22] ---
    You were in the dark a long time, huh?
[06:24] ---
    I'm sorry for leaving you
    by yourself for so long.
[06:32] ---
    Let's get out of this place,
    and go someplace more bright.
[06:36] ---
    I'll take you there.
[06:39] ---
    This man is... my brother...
[06:44] ---
    Let's go home.
[06:46] ---
    "Episode 23:
    Smiles"
[06:55] ---
    Ah! Shinra-kun!
[07:04] ---
    Sho, this isn't your fault...
[07:12] ---
    Haumea!
[07:13] ---
    Hi-dee 'lo.
[08:47] ---
    Oh, my. It looks like he
    couldn't control his speed,
[08:50] ---
    and ended up stabbing himself.
[08:53] ---
    Shinra Kusakabe bears an Adolla Burst.
[08:56] ---
    We can't have him dying on us.
    I will withdraw with him.
[09:02] ---
    This is bad! Another enemy has shown up!
[09:05] ---
    Who the hell are you? You're the ones
    who abducted Sho, aren't you?
[09:13] ---
    What do you plan to do after
    you collect your Adolla Bursts?
[09:17] ---
    The Great Cataclysm, 250 years ago,
    seems to have been a misfire.
[09:22] ---
    By gathering Adolla Bursts, we're going to
    kick-start the Great Cataclysm again!
[09:28] ---
    That's why we're using bugs
    to create pyrokinetics,
[09:31] ---
    and searching for Adolla Bursts!
[09:34] ---
    Also, we need you and Sho to do that!
[09:36] ---
    Hey! Why are you telling him?!
[09:39] ---
    Whoops...
[09:40] ---
    Who cares? Even if they know,
    there's no way they can stop us.
[09:45] ---
    Now then, let's claim Shinra Kusakabe.
[09:50] ---
    Oh? Sho, is something wrong?
[09:53] ---
    First, tell me what happened 12 years ago.
[09:56] ---
    Who can say? I'm a sucker for forceful men,
[10:00] ---
    so why don't you beat it out of me?
[10:02] ---
    Stop screwing around.
[10:03] ---
    Come on, out of the way.
[10:05] ---
    Severed Universe.
[10:08] ---
    Oh? Is something the matter?
[10:10] ---
    Time isn't stopping. My Link has been cut.
[10:19] ---
    Sho!
[10:24] ---
    Sho!
[10:34] ---
    What have you done?!
[10:37] ---
    What do you know? You're still pretty lively,
    aren't you? Amazing, amazing!
[10:42] ---
    Okay, why don't we get going, too?
[10:45] ---
    Sh-Shinra-kun!
[10:49] ---
    What the hey?
[10:56] ---
    I was trying for her head, but got deflected.
[10:59] ---
    Arthur... Lieutenant...
[11:06] ---
    I'm going to be the one to put you down, Devil!
[11:09] ---
    No dying on me in here!
[11:11] ---
    Some uninvited intruders have turned up. Man...
[11:16] ---
    Arthur, she uses some kind of strange technique.
[11:22] ---
    You keep quiet. Don't talk. Hush up.
[11:26] ---
    Now, you're in my way. Move. Move it.
[11:30] ---
    Hmm?
[11:33] ---
    Huh? It didn't work.
[11:35] ---
    What a load. A scare technique? Come at me.
[11:39] ---
    Plasma... Must be interfering
    with my electric signal.
[11:44] ---
    Ah! You're a pain-in-the-ass opponent!
[11:48] ---
    Haumea! We're out of time! We have to go!
[11:51] ---
    Yeah! I know! It'll only take
    a moment to crush these guys!
[11:56] ---
    Now what is it?
[11:59] ---
    My Tekkyo...
[12:01] ---
    Did the electrical system short out?
[12:05] ---
    Help Shinra while I keep her at bay!
[12:07] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[12:09] ---
    Lieutenant!
[12:11] ---
    Bah! Plasma!
[12:13] ---
    That plasma is getting my wires crossed,
    and I can't reach their nerves!
[12:18] ---
    Damn that plasma-user!
[12:20] ---
    He's a real pain in the ass.
[12:29] ---
    Shinra, you're going to be okay now.
[12:34] ---
    Oh! The earthquake is starting.
[12:39] ---
    This tremor...
[12:40] ---
    It's shaking in the creepiest way...
[12:42] ---
    It is the doing of the Evangelist!
[12:46] ---
    We're out of time, Haumea!
[12:48] ---
    See you later, if you survive.
[12:52] ---
    Sho...
[12:55] ---
    --Wait! Give Sho back!
[12:57] ---
    --No! Don't move!
    --Wait! Give Sho back!
[13:03] ---
    We're getting out of here, too!
[13:34] ---
    It's still shaking.
[13:36] ---
    This is going on much too long.
[13:38] ---
    She said it was the Evangelist's doing.
    What are they up to?
[13:46] ---
    Sh-Sho is...
[13:48] ---
    Shinra, right now, you just hold on tight!
[13:52] ---
    If you survive, you can see your brother again!
[13:57] ---
    To the emergency room?
[13:59] ---
    Good idea. Let's call on our colleague.
[14:02] ---
    When it comes to treating pyrokinetics,
    no one can beat her.
[14:16] ---
    "Special Fire Hospital 6"
[14:18] ---
    Director Huang!
[14:20] ---
    Director Kayoko Huang!
SIGN    "Lieutenant" "Second-generation pyrokinetic" "Asako Hague"
[14:26] ---
    Emergency!
[14:27] ---
    What is it, Lieutenant Hague?
SIGN    "Captain" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Kayoko Huang"
[14:40] ---
    Captain Huang, my gratitude.
    I have a gravely injured crewman.
[14:44] ---
    We were informed by the empire.
[14:47] ---
    Was he injured during that
    underground operation?
[14:49] ---
    Yes.
[14:51] ---
    How did the Nether investigation go?
[14:54] ---
    Any guesses what's causing
    that incessant quaking?
[14:57] ---
    Are you sure the great Sol isn't mad at the 8th
[14:59] ---
    for violating the forbidden Nether?
[15:02] ---
    That isn't it. It turns out
    this "Evangelist" and the White-Clad
[15:07] ---
    have been creating man-made Infernals.
[15:10] ---
    They're looking for those
    who possess Adolla Bursts,
[15:12] ---
    flames that come from the underworld Adolla,
[15:15] ---
    in order to destroy the world.
[15:19] ---
    I'll ask you all about it later.
[15:23] ---
    Captain Huang...
[15:25] ---
    ...can you fix up Shinra?
[15:30] ---
    Honestly, it will be tough. Maybe if
    the patient has enough strength left...
[15:35] ---
    And even if we do save his life,
    the worst-case scenario
[15:38] ---
    is that he'll suffer lasting effects,
    such as being paralyzed.
[15:43] ---
    Patient is a third generation,
    and possesses an Adolla Burst, you say?
[15:47] ---
    Yes.
[15:48] ---
    I have never come into contact with
    the sacred flame known as an Adolla Burst.
[15:54] ---
    There is no telling what may happen.
[15:57] ---
    He's my valued crewman. Captain Huang...
[16:02] ---
    ...please do your best.
[16:06] ---
    I'll try. I'll do everything I can.
[16:10] ---
    "Operating"
[16:16] ---
    O Sol, please grant Shinra-san
    the light of life.
[16:24] ---
    Extraction of the sword successful.
    His vitals have stabilized, too.
[16:30] ---
    Now I have to treat him with my ability.
    Then again, with a wound like this...
[16:34] ---
    I'm not sure my ability alone can heal it.
[16:37] ---
    It rests with the strength
    of his flame, as well.
[16:45] ---
    Here goes.
[16:47] ---
    Now beginning the final operation
    on patient Shinra Kusakabe.
[16:52] ---
    Rod of Asclepius!
[17:01] ---
    Serpent, revitalize him!
[17:11] ---
    It's been an hour since the operation started.
[17:14] ---
    Where are the others?
[17:15] ---
    The sister went to pray for Kusakabe.
[17:19] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa is also being treated,
[17:21] ---
    and Investigator Licht is investigating.
[17:24] ---
    What about Vulcan?
[17:25] ---
    He's with Lisa-san.
[17:28] ---
    Apparently, Lisa-san is an emotional wreck.
[17:35] ---
    So is the 6th a hospital?
    What kind of company is this?
[17:39] ---
    You really don't know anything, huh?
[17:42] ---
    You're aware that all medical
    treatment in the empire
[17:44] ---
    are rites that can only be performed
    by the Holy Sol Temple, right?
[17:48] ---
    You see, like the 1st, the 6th is
    an entity of the Holy Sol Temple,
[17:53] ---
    and is the company that
    specializes in medical treatment.
[17:55] ---
    Uh-huh. So that means this is
    a Holy Sol Temple. One that's a hospital.
[18:02] ---
    It's a Special Fire Force Company!
[18:04] ---
    I hear that no one is better than
    the 6th's Captain Huang
[18:07] ---
    when it comes to treating pyrokinetics.
[18:10] ---
    Word is that she uses
    a unique ability to heal them.
[18:15] ---
    Is there something special about
    Captain Huang's treatment?
[18:19] ---
    Apparently, her ability
    controls a flaming serpent
[18:22] ---
    that treats injuries, illnesses,
    and all sorts of symptoms.
[18:26] ---
    When the patient is a pyrokinetic,
    it also makes use of their flame
[18:30] ---
    to instantly relieve them of their suffering.
[18:36] ---
    It's a pretty flame.
[18:38] ---
    At this rate, there should be no problem at all.
[18:41] ---
    This Adolla Burst is incredible.
[18:45] ---
    He's used up all of his flame regenerating,
[18:48] ---
    so it may be a few days before he wakes up.
[18:51] ---
    "Operating"
[18:55] ---
    It's been three days.
[18:58] ---
    It's clear out.
[19:00] ---
    I'm awake.
[19:04] ---
    I'm sure hungry. I want some rice.
[19:11] ---
    What happened to Sho?
    I managed to save him, but...
[19:16] ---
    Has he gone back to the Evangelist again?
[19:26] ---
    I should be looking at
    this sky with my brother...
[19:34] ---
    Damn it!
[19:35] ---
    Impressive. You're awake,
    just like Captain Huang predicted.
[19:41] ---
    Must be the light from the sun,
    but you don't even look that pale.
[19:47] ---
    That being said, you're still
    on the mend. At ease.
[19:52] ---
    I'm just glad you're all right.
[19:54] ---
    Captain Burns? What are you doing here, sir?
[19:58] ---
    I came to check up on you.
[20:00] ---
    Check up? You came here for
    a second class Fire Soldier from the 8th?
[20:07] ---
    Am I putting you out?
[20:09] ---
    No, sir.
[20:10] ---
    If you're up to it, how about
    a little check-up visit chat?
[20:17] ---
    About that fire that happened 12 years ago.
[20:25] ---
    Get dressed. How about we
    take in some of the air outside
[20:28] ---
    while you have some rice?
[20:41] ---
    Are you a big eater?
[20:43] ---
    Yes, sir, more than usual.
[20:46] ---
    You sure have grown up.
[20:50] ---
    You've known who I was for
    the last 12 years, haven't you?
[20:56] ---
    You really were the Fire Soldier
    who was there at the time.
[21:00] ---
    You knew everything, sir?
[21:02] ---
    Yeah. If I had been the one who
    reported the truth of that fire,
[21:07] ---
    you wouldn't have had to bear the stigma
    of killing your mom and brother.
[21:10] ---
    I don't care what happened to me!
[21:12] ---
    Captain Burns, did you know
    that Sho was still alive, too?
[21:16] ---
    Yeah... I knew.
[21:18] ---
    Then, did you know he had been
    taken away to the Evangelist, too, sir?
[21:23] ---
    Yeah... I knew.
[21:26] ---
    Why didn't you help him?!
[21:29] ---
    Why didn't you say anything to me?
[21:31] ---
    If I'd known, I wouldn't have left Sho
    in that darkness for 12 years!
[21:38] ---
    After 12 years, you're all grown up,
    and you still nearly died, so if I had told you,
[21:43] ---
    what do you think you could have done?
[21:46] ---
    This was a fluke. I'm not the same
    as I was when we first sparred.
[21:51] ---
    I'm not so sure. The fluke is that you survived.
[21:55] ---
    If you're really not the same, then show me.
[21:59] ---
    Come at me.
[22:01] ---
    
[22:01] ---
    
[22:02] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:03] ---
    
[22:09] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head
    and I'll go back to myself
[22:15] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[22:32] ---
    He that used his claws on me
[22:34] ---
    Uses the same claws to defend someone else
[22:37] ---
    Weapons turn into both wounds and shields
[22:39] ---
    Isn't that what life's about?
[22:43] ---
    A secret known to none
[22:44] ---
    For so long almost seems to disappear
    but never does
[22:48] ---
    Been holding on to it
[22:50] ---
    While spending a night in the fire
[22:52] ---
    The more they're attracted,
    the more the ignorant laugh
[22:55] ---
    What used to make up the universe
    until yesterday takes the helm
[22:58] ---
    The entire range of emotions that breathes
[23:01] ---
    Don't want to take away
    what I haven't even experienced
[23:05] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head
    and I'll go back to myself
[23:11] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[23:17] ---
    Don't get in my way anymore
[23:21] ---
    I won't be killed by your ideals

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

    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:17] ---
    ...is death by fire.
[00:35] ---
    "Episode 1:
    A Fire Soldier's Fight"
[00:38] ---
    "Ameyoko"
[00:45] ---
    Where should we go next?
[00:48] ---
    I think they sell ice cream over there.
[00:52] ---
    It looked really good.
[00:53] ---
    Ice cream, ice cream!
[00:55] ---
    Isn't this nice? The two of them
    look so cute and girly.
[00:59] ---
    Maki-san, you could have worn a dress, too.
    You'd look good in one.
[01:02] ---
    I...
[01:09] ---
    ...can't pull it off.
[01:23] ---
    It's like the fight in the Nether
    never happened.
[01:35] ---
    There are so many people here, living in fear
    that they might become an Infernal.
[01:42] ---
    I have to make sure those
    joyful smiles aren't just a sham...
[01:46] ---
    ...by finding a way to turn Infernals
    back into people.
[01:49] ---
    Then I'll unravel the mystery of
    the Evangelist and Adolla Bursts,
[01:53] ---
    and do away with spontaneous human combustion.
[01:54] ---
    What's wrong? You've got
    a goofy look on your face.
[01:58] ---
    You're eating more? I'm surprised
    you can put away all that sweet stuff.
[02:02] ---
    Hey, guys, I have a little suggestion.
[02:07] ---
    "Operation Make Over the Lieutenant."
[02:13] ---
    This is my first day off in a while.
[02:15] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I haven't played any soccer recently.
[02:18] ---
    Would you like to go to
    that place I mentioned before?
[02:21] ---
    Oh, I would!
[02:22] ---
    Let's go check out some new clothes.
[02:24] ---
    I want to have some freshly-made ice cream!
[02:27] ---
    I'm looking forward to
    us all going out together.
[02:29] ---
    They're all going shopping?
[02:32] ---
    It's been a long day, huh?
[02:34] ---
    The three of us are going out tomorrow.
[02:36] ---
    Shinra-san, how would you like to come with us?
[02:38] ---
    Me, too? Are you sure you don't mind?
[02:42] ---
    Sister, why invite him?
[02:44] ---
    Do you have any plans?
[02:46] ---
    Oh, no, nothing in particular.
[02:50] ---
    --Good evening, sir!
    --Good evening, sir!
[02:51] ---
    Good evening, sir!
[02:52] ---
    "Waypoint"
[02:52] ---
    You're all going shopping?
[02:54] ---
    "Don't Cry Bypass"
[02:55] ---
    That sounds nice.
[02:56] ---
    Go enjoy yourselves.
[02:58] ---
    --Yes, sir.
    --Yes, sir.
[03:01] ---
    His fashion sense is as awful as ever.
[03:03] ---
    Does he get pushed into buying
    the shopping district's overstock?
[03:06] ---
    The lieutenant is the one
    who should be going shopping.
[03:11] ---
    What if we were to buy some
    more stylish clothes for the lieutenant?
[03:14] ---
    Oh, that sounds like fun!
[03:15] ---
    --Good idea! Which store should we go to?
[03:17] ---
    --Lieutenant...
    --Good idea! Which store should we go to?
[03:19] ---
    ...they're having fun at your expense.
[03:24] ---
    Oh, my...
[03:26] ---
    What do you think about this one?
[03:28] ---
    No, this one!
[03:29] ---
    Well, how about this?
[03:30] ---
    Do you think he'd actually
    wear something like this?
[03:33] ---
    A bald wig? I doubt even he would do that.
[03:37] ---
    It has to at least fit in the hat category
    for the lieutenant to even consider it.
[03:41] ---
    Well then, how about this one?
[03:45] ---
    Oh, is that what we're up to now?
[03:47] ---
    I think a stuffed-animal head
    might be pushing it a bit, too.
[03:53] ---
    "Head Spa"
[03:55] ---
    "Don't Cry Bypass"
[03:57] ---
    Indeed, I'm curious where the lieutenant
    draws the line on his fashion sense.
[04:01] ---
    It makes me want to push right up
    to where that line is!
[04:04] ---
    I love our lieutenant.
[04:06] ---
    Hold on, I thought we were trying to
    make the lieutenant look better.
[04:10] ---
    And if our goal is to make him look snappier,
[04:13] ---
    what are we even doing in this store?
[04:16] ---
    Maki-san is the one who picked the store.
[04:19] ---
    Shinra-san, this would look good on you.
[04:23] ---
    Oh, she's so close...
[04:31] ---
    Ah, this is fun.
[04:36] ---
    You're so damn gross.
[04:38] ---
    --Who are you calling gross?
    --You are. Stay away from me.
[04:40] ---
    She's so aggravating.
[04:43] ---
    Tamaki-san has been very concerned about you.
[04:46] ---
    We heard about your mother. Let's all
    work together to find a way to save her.
[04:52] ---
    You got hurt so badly,
    and yet you pulled through.
[04:55] ---
    I'm sure you'll see Sho-kun again.
[04:58] ---
    Thank you very much.
[05:01] ---
    I really am glad... we're all at the 8th.
[05:07] ---
    Thank you!
[05:14] ---
    Maki-san!
[05:15] ---
    I'm taking provisional command
    as an emergency response.
[05:18] ---
    Shinra, get over to the site fast
    and assess the situation,
[05:21] ---
    and direct the civilian evacuation there.
[05:23] ---
    You two are with me.
[05:24] ---
    We're going to secure evacuation routes
    for the civilians in the area.
[05:27] ---
    --Roger!
    --Roger!
[06:34] ---
    Ow...
[06:42] ---
    Excalibur!
[06:51] ---
    Arthur?!
[06:57] ---
    It is a knight's duty
    to protect the weak, Devil.
[07:00] ---
    Who are you calling weak, you stupid knight?!
[07:20] ---
    Are you all right, Shinra?!
[07:22] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:38] ---
    Is that an Infernal?
[07:39] ---
    Look how big it is.
[07:41] ---
    What do we do, Captain?
[07:43] ---
    The civilian evacuation is complete, right?
    Let's get this sorted out.
[07:47] ---
    Shinra, get into your turnout gear.
[07:49] ---
    Roger!
[07:50] ---
    Licht and Vulcan, locate the core
    of that giant Infernal.
[07:53] ---
    --Roger that.
    --You got it.
[07:55] ---
    Sister, if you'll handle the prayer?
[07:57] ---
    Right.
[07:58] ---
    The rest of us will buy time
    until their analysis is complete.
[08:01] ---

[09:46] ---
    What did your analysis reveal?
[09:48] ---
    We discovered something fascinating.
    This thing's body has multiple cores.
[09:53] ---
    Multiple cores?
[09:55] ---
    Five, to be precise.
    One in each of his arms and legs,
[09:59] ---
    and a main core, the toughest
    of them all, in his chest.
[10:03] ---
    You're saying we have to destroy
    all the cores to put this thing to rest?
[10:07] ---
    Yes indeed. To do so, all of you
    must destroy the arms and legs,
[10:12] ---
    to immobilize the giant Infernal.
[10:15] ---
    As for the final, hardened main core,
[10:18] ---
    Shinra-kun will have to hit it
    with his maximum firepower.
[10:21] ---
    All right, those of you with ranged attacks--
    Hinawa, Maki, and Tamaki--take the arms;
[10:25] ---
    Arthur and I will take out the legs.
[10:27] ---
    Beyond that, Shinra,
[10:29] ---
    it all rests with you.
[10:30] ---
    Yes, sir!
[10:31] ---
    We can't afford to waste any time.
    We'll tackle this all at once!

    1420. Commencing putting
    this giant Infernal to rest!

[15:12] ---
    I am terribly sorry, sir.
[15:14] ---
    Is there anyone who would come to work
    dressed like that, for any reason?!
[15:17] ---
    I'm sorry, sir. I did not realize it
    until you said so.
[15:20] ---
    What the hell is the matter with you?!
[15:23] ---
    What happened to make the captain so angry?
[15:26] ---
    And with Lieutenant Hinawa, at that.
[15:29] ---
    What do we do? He's steaming mad
    because of what we did.
[15:32] ---
    W-We never thought he would
    actually wear it, though.
[15:35] ---
    Oh, God.
[15:36] ---
    Have you even read what's written on your cap?
[15:39] ---
    "Nudist Bitch"
[15:40] ---
    No, sir, I never even looked at it.
[15:43] ---
    Where did you even get such ridiculous clothes?
    Did you buy them yourself?
[15:47] ---
    Ah, what do we do, what do we do?
[15:48] ---
    --What do we do?
    --We have to apologize.
[15:50] ---
    Yes, sir. I bought them myself.
[15:54] ---
    Lieutenant, that's going above and beyond.
[15:56] ---
    You did, huh? I see.
[16:00] ---
    Maki! Iris! Tamaki! Shinra! Get in here!
[16:03] ---
    Eep. He knows.
[16:06] ---
    I know you gave him these clothes.
[16:09] ---
    You took advantage of the lieutenant's
    indifference to fashion.
[16:12] ---
    Is that what you think
    of your superior officers?
[16:15] ---
    Who was it that planned this ridiculous stunt?!
[16:20] ---
    The three of them were kind enough
    to invite me to go shopping with them.
[16:25] ---
    They're my dear friends here at the 8th.
[16:27] ---
    I have to be like Lieutenant Hinawa,
    and not sell my friends out.

[16:50] ---
    Shinra, come in here for a minute!
[16:53] ---
    Excuse me, sir.
[16:57] ---
    The time has come once again.
    This year, we're going to do this right.
[17:00] ---
    Huh? Do what?
[17:01] ---
    The Special Fire Force nude calendar!
[17:05] ---
    "Nude?"
[17:05] ---
    Huh?!
[17:06] ---
    "Overindulgent pecs"
[17:09] ---
    Th-The Special Fire Force nude calendar, sir?
[17:14] ---
    "Powerful abs"
[17:16] ---
    The nude calendar!
[17:18] ---
    "Brawny backs"
[17:20] ---
    "Expository biceps"
[17:20] ---
    It's something they started to make
    the Special Fire Force more relatable.
[17:24] ---
    And the shoot for this calendar is coming up?
[17:28] ---
    Currently, there are eight
    Special Fire Force companies.
[17:31] ---
    Each company takes their month in turn
    between January and August.
[17:35] ---
    Our month is August.
[17:37] ---
    What do they do with September through December?
[17:39] ---
    From September on, it goes by popularity.
[17:42] ---
    The best four start in September,
[17:44] ---
    and work their way up to
    first place in December.
[17:48] ---
    What place did the 8th take last year?
[17:55] ---
    Last place, sir?
[17:56] ---
    Correct.
[17:57] ---
    I'm just going to have a look...
[18:00] ---
    ...at last year's calendar. Let's see, August...
[18:07] ---
    You really went all out, I see.
[18:09] ---
    We were aiming for the top spot.
[18:13] ---
    By the way, who was in first place?
    They would be December, right?
[18:17] ---
    That company boasts steadfast popularity.
[18:25] ---
    Ugh, Rekka...
[18:27] ---
    As a result of the crowd-favorite Rekka
    being killed in action,
[18:31] ---
    we may stand a chance this year.
[18:33] ---
    Indeed, that's true.
[18:34] ---
    That's inappropriate to say!
    And how is he a crowd favorite?
[18:38] ---
    Come to think of it,
    there's Dr. Giovanni from the 3rd.
[18:40] ---
    They might show what he's got under wraps.
[18:47] ---
    This has definitely been faked, huh?
[18:49] ---
    Damn you, die!
[18:51] ---
    Nude, though, huh? Nude...
[18:57] ---
    What did the 5th do? I might get to see
    Captain Hibana's dynamite nu--nude...
[19:05] ---
    Who are these guys?! Screw them!
    They're the gravel guys, aren't they?!
[19:09] ---
    Shinra-san, what were you hoping to see?
    The calendar is just men.
[19:14] ---
    "Special Fire Force Company 5, Combine"
[19:15] ---
    Shinra naked! I want to see
    Shinra's calendar picture!
[19:15] ---
    "Interior, Captain's Office"
[19:21] ---
    I want to... I want to, but on the other hand...
[19:26] ---
    ...everyone will see!
[19:28] ---
    The whole world will realize
    what appeal Shinra has...
[19:32] ---
    Once that happens,
    Shinra will no longer belong to only me.
[19:36] ---
    But that's inevitable.
    I have no choice but to accept it.
[19:41] ---
    --Princess, would you please check our photo?
[19:42] ---
    --Shut up, gravel! Just go with whatever!
    --Princess, would you please check our photo?
[19:47] ---
    They're all getting into this
    more than I expected.
[19:50] ---
    I'll bet the 7th has absolutely
    no interest in this.
[19:53] ---
    Captain Shinmon is actually pretty popular.
[19:56] ---
    Huh?! Captain Shinmon?!
    I can understand why he'd be popular,
[20:01] ---
    but how would he even
    appear in this to begin with?
[20:03] ---
    July...
[20:06] ---
    This was definitely from
    a hidden camera, wasn't it?
[20:12] ---
    Hey, where is Waka?
[20:14] ---
    He went to the bathhouse, sir.
    Is it time for this year's calendar again?
[20:19] ---
    We can't let ourselves be outdone
    by those empire dirtbags at anything.
[20:24] ---
    I'm going to go snap
    a great photo of him with this.
[20:28] ---
    I'm looking forward to seeing it,
    Lieutenant Konro.
[20:31] ---
    Hey!
[20:33] ---
    You really got me good last year.
[20:35] ---
    Did you really think I wouldn't notice?!
[20:39] ---
    They're all waiting... for the big, bold man
    who can win over everyone.
[20:45] ---
    There's only one such man here in Asakusa.
[20:51] ---
    You have to do this, Benimaru!
[20:54] ---
    Me...?
[20:56] ---
    --Stop screwing around!
    Give me that camera! I'll take it!
[20:58] ---
    --No, Waka! It has to be you!
    As a man, you get it, right?!
    --Stop screwing around! Give me that camera! I'll take it!
[21:02] ---
    A hidden camera shot, a doctored photo,
    and the gravel brigade--
[21:06] ---
    How did the 8th get beaten out by all of them?
[21:11] ---
    That all ends this year.
[21:13] ---
    This year, we have new personnel!
    The 8th's calendar days are just beginning!
[21:17] ---
    --Hmph!
    --We'll get 'em this year!
[21:19] ---
    That's true; last year, it was just
    Captain Obi and Lieutenant Hinawa.
[21:23] ---
    Compared to the other companies,
    that seems a little vacant.
[21:28] ---
    I have to ask, though, what's up with
    this pose you're both doing?
[21:31] ---
    That pose is...
[21:36] ---
    Power!
[21:38] ---
    Cobra!
[21:43] ---
    Huh?
[21:44] ---
    How about that? It's well received
    by the female half.
[21:47] ---
    No, no, no, look at how they're taking it!
[21:49] ---
    You can't let the whole world
    in on an inside joke like that!
[21:52] ---
    What's wrong, Shinra?
    There's no spark in your eye.
[21:54] ---
    Well, no, of course not.
[21:56] ---
    I've come up with the way
    we're going to win this year.
[21:58] ---
    You've come up with some other weird gimmick?
[22:00] ---
    The star of this secret plan will be
    front and center. Take a good look.
[22:09] ---
    Power!
[22:11] ---
    Cobra!
[22:13] ---
    Wait for it!
[22:16] ---
    --Twin Cobras!
    --Twin Cobras!
[22:21] ---

    This is the photo from
    our nude calendar from earlier.
[00:03] ---
    What a provocative expression.
    Way to go, Shinra!
[00:07] ---
    Give me a break, sir.
[00:09] ---
    I'm just smiling out of anxiety
    from having a camera pointed at me.
[00:12] ---
    Well, down to business.
[00:14] ---
    You're going to get your sit-down
    with Captain Hague of the 4th.
[00:18] ---
    If what you say is true,
[00:20] ---
    he could be a lead on
    the identity of the Evangelist,
[00:22] ---
    and to unraveling the
    mystery of Adolla Bursts.
[00:25] ---
    Do you mean it, sir?
[00:27] ---
    It's unusual for a Second Class Fire Soldier
    to have a personal meeting
[00:29] ---
    with the captain of another company,
[00:31] ---
    but then, you also have
    the support of Lieutenant Asako.
[00:34] ---
    The lieutenant says she will accompany you
    to your meeting tomorrow.
[00:38] ---
    Shinra, do you know about the 4th?
[00:40] ---
    Of course I do, sir. The 4th oversaw
    the academy I attended.
[00:47] ---
    But why does only the 4th
    have a training academy?

    Just as you say you saw Captain Hague
    during your Adolla Link,

[01:08] ---
    Whatever his reasons,
    your meeting with him works in our favor.

    Pardon me, it's Lieutenant Pan here.
[03:14] ---
    What are you doing here, Kusakabe?
[03:15] ---
    I'll bet that toilet of the 8th
    flushed you away.
[03:18] ---
    Karin, a toilet bug like you stayed here
    without getting flushed?
[03:22] ---
    Huh? What did you say, mother-killer?!
[03:27] ---
    Don't they teach you here at the 4th
[03:30] ---
    that if you grab someone carelessly,
    you get joint-locked and thrown?
[03:33] ---
    Everyone at the 8th knows that.
[03:35] ---
    --What the hell do you think you're doing?!
    --Hey, don't you insult us!
[03:38] ---
    Just be grateful I didn't break it, you wuss.
[03:40] ---
    Take it easy. Remember,
    you're the one who started it.
[03:45] ---
    Kusakabe, you never change, do you?
[03:47] ---
    Ogun!
[03:48] ---
    I just had my guard down, that's all.
[03:50] ---
    Sounds like something you'd say, Karin.
[04:00] ---
    I'm sorry.
[04:02] ---
    You have to actually say that in words
    for people to understand you.
[04:06] ---
    The instructor's whistling is still the same.
[04:08] ---
    It looks like you know a lot of people here.
[04:13] ---
    This is Ogun. He was the head of our class.
[04:16] ---
    He didn't have any friends,
    so Arthur and I palled around with him.
[04:20] ---
    Arthur is no friend of mine, you know.
[04:23] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[04:24] ---
    I hear you're doing well over at the 8th.
[04:26] ---
    As are you.
[04:33] ---
    Lieutenant Pan says he's going to
    show us in. Thanks for your help.
[04:38] ---
    I'm surprised you could understand that.
[04:44] ---
    What business do you and the 8th have
    with the captain, Lieutenant Asako?
[04:49] ---
    We want to hear from my
    grandfather about how,
[04:51] ---
    ever since he got those scars
    on his face, he's changed.
[04:55] ---
    Captain Hague is a great man.
[04:58] ---
    A leading figure, who rose up
    from the regular Fire Fighters
[05:01] ---
    to become a member of the Special Fire Force.
[05:04] ---
    All of us here at the 4th look up to him.
[05:08] ---
    Even now, our feelings
    for him remain unchanged.
[05:11] ---
    The captain is up ahead.
    He asked for you to go in alone, Kusakabe.
[05:15] ---
    Just me?
[05:16] ---
    I've told him that you'd like to
    ask about Adolla Bursts.
[05:20] ---
    I don't want to be in the way,
    so I'd best not go with you at first.
[05:26] ---
    All right. Well, then...
[05:30] ---
    Excuse me, sir.
[05:36] ---
    Second Class Fire Soldier
    Shinra Kusakabe, from the 8th.
[05:40] ---
    Thank you very much for being
    gracious enough to see me today, sir.
[05:44] ---
    I've been expecting you. To begin with,
[05:48] ---
    I'd like to see your flames.
[05:53] ---
    Would you mind burning me?
[05:55] ---
    Oh, goodness.
[05:57] ---
    Forgive me, forgive me. That must have
    startled you. Not like that.
[06:02] ---
    Allow me to lay it out.
[06:05] ---
    I want you to burn me!
[06:08] ---
    Eww...
[06:09] ---
    G-Go on, go on, go on, go on...
[06:12] ---
    Burn you?
[06:14] ---
    Burn me as hard as you can!
[06:17] ---
    That's right! Go ahead and burn him,
    just like he wants!
[06:21] ---
    Burn him. Burn him. Burn him to death.
[06:25] ---
    Don't hold it in anymore.
[06:28] ---
    Kill that despicable demon.
    Go ahead and waste him.
[06:33] ---
    That demon was Mom. I
    can't possibly kill her.
[06:37] ---
    Then what's to become of the thirst for blood
    you've had for the last 12 years?
[06:41] ---
    It's not just going to vanish
    that easily, you know. Right?
[06:44] ---
    --Devil!
    --Mother-killer!
    --You disgust me!
[06:46] ---
    You only put up with all of it
    because once you killed that demon,
[06:49] ---
    it would feel so much better, right?
[06:51] ---
    Are you just planning to wave away
    all that pent-up anger?
[06:54] ---
    Start burning and find your relief.
[06:56] ---
    Like, "Yeah, I'm every bit
    the devil you say I am!"
[07:01] ---
    Not so eager? After all, being a hero
    doesn't matter anymore, does it?
[07:06] ---
    This whole world is one lie after another.
[07:09] ---
    There's no such damn thing
    as a hero in a world like this.
[07:15] ---
    Yeah, he's the one you want to kill
    the most right now, isn't he?
[07:19] ---
    He decided for himself
    to hide everything from you.
[07:22] ---
    This is on him.
[07:24] ---
    Start burning.
[07:26] ---
    Start burning, and you'll feel better.
    All of it. Set it all free.
[07:31] ---
    Let go of all of that anger!
[07:35] ---
    Sister...?
[07:37] ---
    Plunge it all into your flames!
[07:40] ---
    No, you're not the sister. Who are you?
[07:47] ---
    That was an Adolla Link.
[07:51] ---
    Has my contact with you triggered it?
[07:54] ---
    So you saw a woman who
    looks like someone you know.
[07:58] ---
    I'd like to meet this angel.
[08:02] ---
    I want you to burn me even more now.
[08:03] ---
    Eep!
[08:05] ---
    Captain Hague, have you
    gone through an Adolla Link, too?
[08:09] ---
    If that's what you want to call it, then yes.
    It was a magnificent experience.
[08:14] ---
    Captain Burns had his eye
    burned out as his trade-off.
[08:18] ---
    Are those scars on your face yours?
[08:22] ---
    I've fought like crazy all this time
    to keep people's lives and property safe.
[08:28] ---
    But on that day, two years ago,
    my way of thinking changed.
[08:34] ---
    The Great Fire was enough
    to swallow up the whole city.
[08:37] ---
    I thought I had saved so many lives,
[08:40] ---
    but the truth is, I was unable to
    save so many more lives, wasn't I?
[08:50] ---
    It was then that I felt a hope
    that was close to hopelessness--
[08:55] ---
    a sense of liberation.
[08:57] ---
    It felt like everything had been saved.
[09:00] ---
    "Adolla Link"--
    Is that what that baptism is called?
[09:04] ---
    What I saw was unlike the light of the sun
    preached by the Holy Sol Temple.
[09:10] ---
    The light I saw was the
    veritable light of God.
[09:13] ---
    To reach that divine realm is indeed
    the very salvation of mankind.
[09:18] ---
    These scars are my stigmata--
    sacred scratches that have opened my eyes.
[09:25] ---
    Please, Kusakabe-kun,
    will you burn me with your holy flames?
[09:31] ---
    I might be able to see
    that divine realm again.
[09:33] ---
    Captain Hague, do you think
    that otherworldly hellscape is God's world?
[09:39] ---
    Whether it is Heaven or Hell is fine to me.
[09:44] ---
    The God and Devil that people conceive of
[09:46] ---
    are both nothing more than
    a pale mockery of Adolla.
[09:49] ---
    I've seen the verity of it.
[09:52] ---
    I want to tell others that this is the truth!
[09:56] ---
    I didn't feel any salvation
    in the Adolla Link that I experienced.
[10:01] ---
    It probably feels mundane to you,
    possessing an Adolla Burst as you do.
[10:06] ---
    However, I am just an ordinary man.
[10:10] ---
    I'm just a man, too.
[10:18] ---
    Mamoru-kun?
[10:22] ---
    Shinra Kusakabe, I'll kill you.
[10:25] ---
    Karin, why? Are you that upset
    over me tossing you about earlier?
[10:31] ---
    It's the perfect opportunity, right?
    If that's how he wants it, then kill him.
[10:37] ---
    What's come over all of you?
[10:39] ---
    Kill him.
[10:41] ---
    You've got the perfect target
    to take it out on. Kill him.
[10:45] ---
    Free your anger. As hard as you can.
[10:48] ---
    Burn everything...
[10:50] ---
    Kusakabe-kun?
[10:52] ---
    Come on, let's get to it!
[10:54] ---
    Burn everything!
[10:56] ---
    Do it.
[10:58] ---
    This is your Adolla Burst?
    It's so hot! Good! Good!
[11:04] ---
    Grandpa!
[11:06] ---
    We have our crewmen acting strangely here?!
[11:08] ---
    Yeah, and Kusakabe-kun, as well.
[11:10] ---
    It's almost like they're
    possessed by something.
[11:13] ---
    --Mother-killer!
    --Devil!
[11:14] ---
    --You disgust me!
    --Devil!
[11:16] ---
    They said all that crap
    without even knowing anything...
[11:19] ---
    No, I guess I was the one who didn't know.
[11:23] ---
    Enough. It doesn't matter.
[11:25] ---
    Die, all of you.
[11:29] ---
    You need to start behaving yourselves.
[11:43] ---
    I came to use the 4th's crewmen
    to get in Shinra's face,
[11:47] ---
    and now the First Pillar is
    using Shinra to go on a rampage.
[11:49] ---
    The First Pillar? Hey, Haumea,
    did you just say the First Pillar?!
[11:53] ---
    Through an Adolla Link?!
[11:54] ---
    Hey, tell me, is the First Pillar
    in contact with Shinra Kusakabe?!
[11:58] ---
    --Charon, you are one damn
    annoying man! Die, you scum!
[11:58] ---
    --Whoa! For real? The First Pillar has
    appeared? Through an Adolla Link, right?
[12:04] ---
    Yeah! Through an Adolla Link!
    You know where the First Pillar is!
[12:08] ---
    It's not as though she's
    actually here, though!
[12:10] ---
    She's using an Adolla Link to possess Shinra.
[12:13] ---
    She has her sights set on
    Shinra's anger and resentment.
[12:16] ---
    She's taking out her anger by using Shinra.
[12:19] ---
    Shinra is synced in with his anger, too.
    Taking them on...
[12:23] ---
    ...are the slick fire-fighting elite old man,
    and the hotshot Buff user.
[12:28] ---
    "Heat Resistance Buff"
[12:32] ---
    I don't want things to get
    too rough inside my office.
[12:37] ---
    We can't very well have a fire
    break out at the fire station.
[12:40] ---
    Type 1 Fire Axes!
[12:45] ---
    Almost as though you're
    a beast wearing a human form.
[12:48] ---
    There's no need to hold back anymore.
[12:51] ---
    Let's kill anyone who gets in our way.
[12:54] ---
    How does she have this
    much hatred? Who is this?
[12:58] ---
    I'm getting swallowed up!
[13:02] ---
    Whoa-ho, that's hot! A-Adolla! Adolla!
[13:08] ---
    What are you doing, Captain?!
    You should have been able to avoid that!
[13:12] ---
    Very good... Yes, indeed...
[13:16] ---
    But if I bask in it for too long,
    I'll never survive it.
[13:20] ---
    --But still, I really want it...
[13:22] ---
    --Grandpa...?
    --But still, I really want it...
[13:23] ---
    Please pull it together, sir!
    You really will end up dead!
[13:26] ---
    Dead, huh? For the 4th's sake,
    I can't afford to die just yet.
[13:32] ---
    Oh, that's amazing in its own right!
[13:35] ---
    Even with his heat resistance boosted,
    he's not going to last like this.
[13:39] ---
    Dodge him!
[13:42] ---
    Those flame spears...
[13:44] ---
    That Shinra bastard thinks he can
    do whatever he wants here.
[13:47] ---
    I take my eyes off of him for a minute,
    and what does he do?
[13:49] ---
    You're here just in time, Ogun!
[13:51] ---
    And Arthur...?
[13:53] ---
    We figured that shock lady we met in the Nether
    might come after Shinra again.
[13:58] ---
    My captain has asked me to be his bodyguard.
[14:05] ---
    What's with you? Is that really you, Shinra?
    What happened?
[14:09] ---
    Is it that harebrained woman
    we met in the Nether? No...
[14:13] ---
    I'm sensing yet another presence
    coming from inside you.
[14:16] ---
    Kill you... Kill you...
[14:18] ---
    Your face is as ugly as ever, though.
[14:22] ---
    Time for a devil hunt.
[14:23] ---
    Hey, hold on. Let's think of a way
    to bring Shinra back to his senses.
[14:27] ---
    Easy enough to say, but how do we do that?
[14:29] ---
    If Kusakabe-kun has become like this
    because of the effects of an Adolla Link,
[14:33] ---
    we can either break the link, or...
[14:35] ---
    Let's allow his two classmates
    to handle this, sir.
[14:38] ---
    I'll back you up! You two just
    focus on stopping Kusakabe!
[14:41] ---
    Here he comes!
[14:45] ---
    Are you kidding me? That
    was too fast to see--
[14:50] ---
    I increased your durability
    with my muscle-boosting whistle.
[14:53] ---
    It still hurts like hell, though.
[14:55] ---
    No fair!
[14:58] ---
    So that's his Rapid, huh?
    After actually taking one,
[15:01] ---
    our bodies can't move
    in time even if we do react.
[15:03] ---
    Both of you, leave the
    Buffs and recovery to me.
[15:05] ---
    All right, we'll fight him as a party.
    We'll tank on the front line!
[15:06] ---
    "Buff" "Party Play" "SPD"
[15:10] ---
    "Bard"
    "Pan"
[15:11] ---
    I, Pan the Bard, will inspire the warriors
    with my magic flute.
[15:14] ---
    "Warrior"
    "Ogun"
[15:14] ---
    I, Ogun the Warrior,
    will avenge everyone in the village!
[15:17] ---
    "Shield of Masochism"
[15:18] ---
    I'm Shield of Masochism,
    created by the dwarves.
[15:22] ---
    Wh-What the...?
[15:24] ---
    Let's go, Knight King!
[15:25] ---
    Yes, to strike down Satan!
[15:28] ---
    Arthur, what's suddenly come over you?
    You're acting strange.
[15:31] ---
    Is he being controlled, like the others?
[15:34] ---
    No, he's going beyond us.
[15:37] ---
    You mean he's playing knight
    like he always does?
[15:39] ---
    But he looks even more obtuse than usual.
    He's going pretty deep, sir.
[15:44] ---
    What exactly could have
    pushed his button like this?
[15:51] ---
    The Adolla Burst!
[15:53] ---
    Force Shield!
[15:56] ---
    Shield Bash!
[15:58] ---
    Arthur! What do you think
    you're doing with the captain?!
[16:01] ---
    Good work, Shield of Masochism.
[16:03] ---
    This has never happened to me before.
[16:06] ---
    Captain, stop enjoying this!
[16:09] ---
    "Slump"
[16:14] ---
    Hey, Shinra,
[16:15] ---
    what happened to being a hero?
[16:18] ---
    I burned up all that rubbish
    about being a hero.
[16:23] ---
    Do you really mean that?
    Or is that whoever's inside you?
[16:28] ---
    What is that smile supposed to mean?
[16:31] ---
    Are you celebrating, because you can
    finally reveal your true self?
[16:34] ---
    --Or do you seek the Knight King's aid?
    --Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!
[16:37] ---
    I know where your mother is.
[16:41] ---
    --How you can see her again.
    --Hey, Devil, you hear me?!
[16:43] ---
    I'll give you three chances.
    I'll let you off three times.
[16:47] ---
    The fourth time, I'll slice you up.
    Come to your senses before then.
[16:52] ---
    Did you even hear me?
[16:54] ---
    I'm giving you four chances!
[16:55] ---
    "*Wrong) 4 times"
    "Right) 3 times"
[17:00] ---
    That was your first one.
[17:02] ---
    You really are a damn powerhouse
    when you're delusional.
[17:05] ---
    What set you off like this?
[17:08] ---
    I was born a Knight King.
    That's the way I was brought up.
[17:12] ---
    Knight King? Like, nobility?
[17:15] ---
    What the hell kind of household
    did you grow up in?
[17:18] ---
    Nobility, you say? Can
    royalty become nobility?
[17:23] ---
    What kind of folk were we, exactly?
[17:26] ---
    A fire that erupted at a restaurant
    was put out early yesterday morning.
[17:30] ---
    "Restaurant Fire"
    "Did food poisoning lead to the fire...?"
[17:30] ---
    The restaurant that caught fire
[17:32] ---
    --is still reeling from a recent
    outbreak of food poisoning.
[17:34] ---
    --They're talking about us on the news.
    What are we going to do?
[17:38] ---
    Supper is ready, so go get your father.
[17:41] ---
    Affirmative.
[17:42] ---
    Hey, it's our last supper.
[17:47] ---
    Sounds like the family's finances
    have gone up in smoke.
[17:52] ---
    Something wrong, Arthur?
[17:54] ---
    Why were you looking at the inside of your hat?
    Could you see something?
[17:58] ---
    You always say the funniest things, Arthur.
[18:02] ---
    Well, okay. I was looking at
    a sky full of stars--
[18:07] ---
    the whole universe inside this hat!
[18:10] ---
    You liar, it's pitch black.
    You can't see a thing in here.
[18:14] ---
    Really?
[18:19] ---
    I see a castle! It's your castle, Father!
[18:21] ---
    A castle, huh? That's terrific!
[18:24] ---
    There are lots of soldiers, too.
[18:26] ---
    What are you two doing?
[18:31] ---
    Come, Arthur, the ball is starting.
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!!!"
[18:57] ---
    King?!
[18:59] ---
    Ever since that day,
    I have been the Knight King.
[19:03] ---
    So, your parents just vanished,
    and left you abandon--
[19:14] ---
    You have one chance left.
    Are you going to forsake being a hero and die?
[19:17] ---
    I never needed that nonsense
    in the first place!
[19:23] ---
    I really am going to have to go for the throat,
    or I'll be in danger myself.
[19:27] ---
    Heroes are obviously stronger and cooler!
[19:30] ---
    Hmph, you idiot. Knights are cooler.
[19:33] ---
    We're not here to become either
    knights or heroes, but Fire Soldiers.
[19:38] ---
    I'm going to unmask you for
    who you really are someday, Devil.
[19:41] ---
    I have to be a hero.
[19:44] ---
    It was a promise I made to my family.
[19:46] ---
    I see.
[19:48] ---
    In that, at least, we are alike.
[19:50] ---
    I acknowledged you for
    keeping your oath, at least,
[19:53] ---
    but in the end, you're still a devil!
[19:55] ---
    If it means killing the demon that
    killed my old lady, then I'll be a devil!
[20:00] ---
    But your mother was that demon, right?
[20:02] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[20:04] ---
    My old lady's gone, and the demon
    who I wanted dead is gone!
[20:06] ---
    It's too much hassle,
    so I'm gonna burn everything now!
[20:09] ---
    How do you figure? I don't understand.
    What about your brother, Sho?
[20:15] ---
    --Shut up!
    --Shut up!
[20:16] ---
    Screw you! What am I supposed to do
    with the thirst for blood
[20:19] ---
    I've felt for the last 12 years?!
[20:20] ---
    --Burn it up! Let it burn! Burn it up!
[20:20] ---
    --I'm going to take it out on this
    lame-ass world by burning it up!
[20:25] ---
    I'll kill anybody who gets in my way!
[20:28] ---
    Knight Kick!
[20:28] ---
    "Knight Kick"
[20:31] ---
    Knight Punch!
[20:31] ---
    "Knight Punch"
[20:32] ---
    We never did settle the question
    between knights and heroes,
[20:36] ---
    but you sure are weak, Devil!
[20:37] ---
    What did you say?
[20:38] ---
    Knight Head!
[20:38] ---
    "Knight Head"
[20:41] ---
    What do you know? The person I wanted
    to take vengeance on is someone I love!
[20:46] ---
    Now who am I supposed to
    wanna kill to keep on living?!
[20:49] ---
    Protect the ones who are important to you!
[20:51] ---
    That's something that knights,
    heroes, and Fire Soldiers all do!
[20:55] ---
    Even if you protect them,
    someday, their lives will pass on.
[20:58] ---
    Become someone who snuffs them out, instead.
[21:01] ---
    That way is much simpler
    and clear-cut, right?
[21:03] ---
    Now, get up! Are you a hero,
    or are you a devil?!
[21:06] ---
    Get up and answer me! What are you?!
[21:09] ---
    And depending on how you answer,
    I'll cut you down!
[21:15] ---
    That's it, burn him to death!
[21:27] ---
    Am I a hero or am I a devil? Well, damn it...
[21:31] ---
    I can't believe I seriously have to answer
    such a ridiculous question.
[21:36] ---
    I am a hero!
[21:40] ---
    Get out of me!
[21:42] ---
    Guess I'm out of luck.
    But I enjoyed that more than I expected.
[21:46] ---
    Wait! You said you would let me
    see my mother, right?
[21:49] ---
    Does that mean my mom still actually exists?
[21:53] ---
    Heh-heh, that's a good question.
    You rejected me, so I'm not telling.
[21:59] ---
    Wait!
[22:00] ---
    Oh, one other thing.
[22:02] ---
    Haumea, Sho, Shinra--and now it looks like
    one more Pillar is about to be born.
[22:08] ---
    Pillar? You mean, a person who
    has an Adolla Burst?
[22:11] ---
    I've become aware of
    the birth of this new Pillar.
[22:15] ---
    The Evangelist must have
    realized it, as well.
[22:18] ---
    The Fire Force or the Evangelist--
    which one will obtain the Pillar?
[22:24] ---
    "To be continued"
[23:56] ---
    "Fire Force, Season 2"
[23:59] ---
    "Next time"
[24:01] ---
    The appearance of a new
    Adolla Burst is predicted
[24:04] ---
    by the mysterious girl
    who threw Shinra-san for a loop.
[24:06] ---
    Word is that it might be the so-called
    Fireground Thief schoolgirl.
[24:09] ---
    It couldn't be! Her?
    Delinquent behavior is bad!
[24:12] ---
    If you want, I'll get you out of here.
[24:15] ---
    That is, after you give me your valuables.
[24:18] ---
    Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,
    episode 3, "A New Flashpoint."
[24:18] ---
    "Episode 3:
    A New Flashpoint"

[00:03] ---
    Get out of me!
[00:05] ---
    Guess I'm out of luck. That's all
    the killer instinct you have, huh?
[00:10] ---
    Still, I enjoyed that more than I expected.
[00:12] ---
    No, wait! You said you would
    let me see my mother, right?
[00:17] ---
    Does that mean my mom still actually exists?
[00:23] ---
    Heh-heh, that's a good question.
    You rejected me, so I'm not telling.
[00:29] ---
    Wait!
[00:31] ---
    Oh, one other thing.
[00:33] ---
    Haumea, Sho, Shinra--and now it looks like
    one more Pillar is about to be born.
[00:38] ---
    I'm going to go play with them now.
[00:40] ---
    Pillar? You mean, a person
    who has an Adolla Burst?
[00:43] ---
    The Evangelist has likely also realized
    that a new Pillar is being born.
[00:48] ---
    The Fire Force or the Evangelist--
    which one will obtain the Pillar?
[00:54] ---
    Who the hell are you...?
[00:58] ---
    I've been watching this empire
    for a very long time.
[01:05] ---
    Pupil response is normal.
[01:08] ---
    Fully conscious, too.
[01:10] ---
    There doesn't seem to be any problem.
[01:12] ---
    What happened to us? I
    don't remember a thing.
[01:16] ---
    It looks like they were being
    controlled by someone, all right.
[01:20] ---
    The same as the one who
    was controlling Shinra?
[01:23] ---
    No, someone different from Shinra.
[01:25] ---
    These guys were
    the work of that electricity girl.
[01:29] ---
    It looks like the First Pillar took off,
[01:32] ---
    so I released the guys from the 4th.
[01:37] ---
    I have to say, though, the First Pillar
    did say something interesting.
[01:41] ---
    Something interesting?
[01:43] ---
    That the fifth person with
    an Adolla Burst was about to be born.
[01:46] ---
    Huh?! What do you mean,
    Haumea?! Huh, Haumea?!
[01:50] ---
    What's going on? What did you just say--
[01:52] ---
    Shut up!
[01:53] ---
    We're scrambling against
    those Fire Force punks!
[03:27] ---
    "Episode 3:
    A New Flashpoint"
[03:32] ---
    Someone else with an Adolla Burst
    is about to be born?
[03:36] ---
    And the Evangelist is aware of this, too?
[03:40] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:41] ---
    It's not clear if it's true or not,
    but from what they said,
[03:44] ---
    the Evangelist is gathering those
    who possess Adolla Bursts,
[03:47] ---
    and is planning to trigger another
    Great Cataclysm like the one 250 years ago.
[03:51] ---
    We can't exactly take anything
    the enemy says at face value,
[03:54] ---
    but it's also true that
    we can't just ignore this.
[04:00] ---
    I'm sorry to have given you
    so much trouble today, sir.
[04:02] ---
    I will submit a written apology
    in the next few days.
[04:04] ---
    Don't worry about it.
    I can overlook something like this.
[04:08] ---
    It's because of you that I got
    another glimpse of Adolla.
[04:13] ---
    Can I ask you one last thing?
[04:17] ---
    Why do you think you saw Adolla, sir?
[04:22] ---
    I came close to the truth
    in that great fire. That's probably why.
[04:33] ---
    Thank you for everything you did today.
[04:36] ---
    I'll be going now, then.
[04:38] ---
    Sorry for all the trouble.
[04:40] ---
    Not at all. It's been a while
    since I've seen my grandfather.
[04:43] ---
    The 6th will continue to
    work together with all of you.
[04:51] ---
    That crazy girl who connected
    with me over an Adolla Link...
[04:54] ---
    ...and this new bearer of
    an Adolla Burst she mentioned...
[04:59] ---
    If it turns out to be true, then we have to
    protect them from the Evangelist.
[05:04] ---
    You really put me out. What would have
    happened if I hadn't been around?
[05:13] ---
    Yeah. This time, at least, it was my bad.
[05:18] ---
    There's no way Shinra
    is as agreeable as that!
[05:21] ---
    Huh? I am so agreeable! To everyone
    who isn't as awful as you, anyway!
[05:28] ---
    Hmph.
[05:33] ---
    Thinking about what the truth is
    won't help us find it.
[05:36] ---
    Even so, I'm going to save Sho and my mom.
[05:39] ---
    I'm going to protect the fifth
    Adolla Burst bearer, too.
[05:45] ---
    I'm a hero, after all!
[05:47] ---
    "Fire Defense Agency"
[05:48] ---
    Now that we know what
    the Evangelist's people are after,
[05:51] ---
    we should bring all the companies
    together and strike at them!
[05:56] ---
    Now, take it easy, Obi.
    I've already spoken to each company.
[06:01] ---
    "Fire Defense Agency Chief"
[06:05] ---
    We also had a report of a new
    Adolla Burst bearer being born.
[06:09] ---
    They're not too quick to believe that.
[06:12] ---
    Haijima in particular is being uncooperative.
[06:16] ---
    The fact remains, the
    Evangelist is responsible
[06:19] ---
    for bringing about man-made human combustion.
[06:21] ---
    The Adolla Burst itself
    is still plenty mysterious.
[06:24] ---
    It's not even clear if bringing
    those who possess them together
[06:27] ---
    can cause another Great Cataclysm.
[06:30] ---
    We can't get every company behind this
    when there isn't any proof.
[06:34] ---
    It will be too late once it happens.
[06:35] ---
    Absolutely right. That's
    why I gave you the 8th.
[06:41] ---
    You're free to act as you like at the 8th,
    the same as you have been.
[06:45] ---
    I've got you covered.
[06:47] ---
    So we cannot bring the entire
    Special Fire Force together for this.
[06:54] ---
    Very well. The 8th will continue
    to investigate alone, as always.
[07:00] ---
    Please excuse me.
[07:01] ---
    You've become a lot more reasonable.
[07:04] ---
    You sure you haven't grown up a little?
[07:07] ---
    I'm only more quick to suppress my
    dissatisfaction and give up than I was before.
[07:12] ---
    I don't consider myself more mature.
[07:14] ---
    Then what do you consider growing up?
[07:18] ---
    The depth and breadth of one's love.
[07:21] ---
    I will never give up on
    keeping the world safe.
[07:26] ---
    If you'll excuse me...
[07:29] ---
    That's just like you, Obi.
[07:33] ---
    You're right, we can't
    have any more casualties.
[07:37] ---
    We have to snuff out this fire
    at the source as soon as possible.
[07:41] ---
    You know that senior that just moved in?
[07:44] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[07:45] ---
    He is so cool, isn't he?
[07:47] ---
    Your taste in guys is as weird as ever.
[07:49] ---
    Huh? That's not true.
[07:51] ---
    Oh yes it is.
[07:52] ---
    I'm telling you, he's cool.
[07:55] ---
    Tell me, don't you think so?
[07:57] ---
    Inca, what's up?
[07:59] ---
    Sorry, I forgot something.
[08:01] ---
    --Again?
    --Go on without me!
[08:08] ---
    Such a fragrant aroma...
[08:16] ---
    No doubt about it.
[08:18] ---
    Is it coming, Boss Inca?
[08:21] ---
    That's welcome news.
[08:23] ---
    You're late, Panda and Sancho!
[08:26] ---
    Sorry about that, Boss.
[08:27] ---
    It's because you're such a dawdler, Panda.
[08:31] ---
    The smell is getting stronger.
[08:33] ---
    We're on! Get ready!
[08:38] ---
    I sure hope it's a rich guy's house
    that catches fire this time!
[08:49] ---
    This is the house. Should
    be easy to get inside.
[08:53] ---
    Okay, the fire is about to start.
[08:56] ---
    Let's get this underway.
[08:57] ---
    Yeah.
[09:01] ---
    Time to make some money.
[09:18] ---
    Hmm? What's that smell?
[09:23] ---
    F-Fire! There's a fire downstairs!
[09:26] ---
    Having a bit of trouble? It looks like
    it's already pretty well burning.
[09:30] ---
    Th-Thank goodness you're here! Help me!
[09:33] ---
    I'll get you out of here,
    if that's what you want.
[09:36] ---
    However, you have to
    give me your valuables first.
[09:40] ---
    What are you talking
    about?! Th-There's a fire!
[09:43] ---
    Yeah, so there's no time
    to agonize over this.
[09:46] ---
    If you want me to help you,
    hand over everything you have.
[09:51] ---
    Th-There's a pen tray at the bottom
    of the drawer in that room.
[09:54] ---
    The money is under that!
[09:56] ---
    I'm disabled. Take whatever you want,
    just hurry up and save me!
[10:03] ---
    Nice!
[10:06] ---
    Whew, you're heavy, you old geezer.
[10:09] ---
    I-I'm saved...
[10:12] ---
    Good. We're out of here, you two.
[10:15] ---
    We divide it 20-20-60.
[10:18] ---
    That's no fair.
[10:20] ---
    Sure it is. It's all because of me.
[10:22] ---
    Well, fair point. You're the only one
    who knows where the fires break out.
[10:27] ---
    That's what's strange,
    though. How can you tell?
[10:31] ---
    I've never heard of a generation
    that can predict outbreaks before.
[10:35] ---
    First generations become Infernals
    through human combustion.
[10:39] ---
    Second generations can
    manipulate and control flames.
[10:42] ---
    Third generations can ignite their own flames,
    and alter their force and shape.
[10:48] ---
    But I can't control or produce flames.
[10:52] ---
    I just might be something of an
    unprecedented fourth generation!
[10:57] ---
    --A fourth generation?
    --A fourth generation?
[10:59] ---
    It was that great fire two years ago.
[11:01] ---
    Many lives and many items
    were lost in that fire.
[11:07] ---
    At the time, I didn't even
    know why I had been born.
[11:12] ---
    I'd just as soon have
    spontaneously combusted,
[11:15] ---
    wishing that I could go
    out in a blaze of glory.
[11:20] ---
    As the flames kept coming
    into being, more lives were lost.
[11:24] ---
    As I found myself in the middle
    of that desperate situation,
[11:27] ---
    I had a thought for the first time ever--
[11:30] ---
    "Live!"
[11:33] ---
    Life. As I was surrounded by
    the heat and terror of the flames...
[11:39] ---
    ...I experienced a sense of elation
    I'd never felt before.
[11:47] ---
    I don't want to die. Gotta get out of here.
[11:53] ---
    Oh, over there...
[11:57] ---
    Huh? Again?
[12:01] ---
    How come?
[12:03] ---
    I can tell... where the flames
    are going to spread.
[12:07] ---
    The scent becomes a line... and I can see it!
[12:14] ---
    I get it. Where the lines of light
    are stronger and thicker
[12:18] ---
    is where the burning will come.
[12:20] ---
    This is a piece of cake, then!
    I can get out of here!
[12:25] ---
    At the time, I had lost an awful lot,
    but in return, I had gained this power.
[12:32] ---
    But what you're doing
    is fireground thievery, so...
[12:35] ---
    Or is it fireground mugging?
[12:37] ---
    Nothing is more precious than life!
    I save their lives;
[12:41] ---
    getting some valuables from them
    seems like a small price to pay.
[12:43] ---
    But you don't feel like you're alive
[12:46] ---
    unless you're exposing yourself
    to danger, like fire scenes.
[12:49] ---
    You risk your life, saying you feel
    a terrific rush in that momentary thrill--
[12:55] ---
    what you might call an
    adrenaline junkie, right?
[12:58] ---
    Hmm...
[13:00] ---
    I do enjoy danger, to be sure. The more
    thrilling something is, the more I like it.
[13:06] ---
    ...be born...
[13:09] ---
    ...danger... like... be born...
[13:14] ---
    The danger you like so
    much is about to be born.
[13:21] ---
    Something wrong? You suddenly...
[13:23] ---
    What was that? That woman just now
    seemed incredibly dangerous.
[13:28] ---
    Danger is about to be born?
[13:34] ---
    Nice!
[13:41] ---
    It's almost time.
[13:43] ---
    ...Fifth... llar is about... be born...
[13:46] ---
    Scramble.
[13:48] ---
    Not you again!
[13:50] ---
    Okay, we're heading back.
[13:52] ---
    Find us some more work sometime.
[13:53] ---
    Hold on.
[13:54] ---
    What is it?
[13:58] ---
    It's bad!
[13:59] ---
    It's bad, it's bad, it's so bad!
[14:04] ---
    How come...
[14:06] ---
    How come so many fires are breaking out?
[14:09] ---
    Another fire?
[14:10] ---
    What? What do you see?
[14:12] ---
    People are gonna die.
    Time to make some money!
[14:15] ---
    This whole area is about to
    become a sea of flame!
[14:23] ---
    The Fireground Thief schoolgirl?
[14:25] ---
    She's famous in the empire.
[14:28] ---
    Apparently, she always gets to a scene
    before the Fire Soldiers do.
[14:31] ---
    She's been suspected of
    setting the fires herself,
[14:34] ---
    but the victims have all testified
    that that's not the case.
[14:37] ---
    But how does she know
    where the fires are going to be?
[14:40] ---
    Ah, over there.
[14:43] ---
    The next one will be there.
[14:47] ---
    I just got a report of someone
    who was rescued by a mysterious girl.
[14:52] ---
    This girl is at the scene of the fire
    we're now heading to.
[15:00] ---
    Hey, does anyone have a conductor's baton?
[15:03] ---
    Given her unusual ability, there's a
    good chance that she's the Fifth Pillar.
[15:07] ---
    She helps people and
    takes their valuables from them?
[15:11] ---
    I'm not sure if what she's
    doing is good or bad.
[15:14] ---
    The Fire Force or the Evangelist--
    which one will obtain the Pillar?
[15:20] ---
    If that girl really is the fifth,
[15:23] ---
    I have to make sure that the Evangelist's
    men don't take her away, like Sho.
[15:28] ---
    I have to secure her, no matter what.
[15:34] ---
    We'll arrive at the scene in a moment.
[15:36] ---
    Everybody, check your equipment.
    Maki-san, let's use your Owl Eye.
[15:41] ---
    Acknowledged.
[15:47] ---
    Owl Eye online.
[15:51] ---
    I installed an ultra-telephoto
    camera into her Tekkyo.
[15:54] ---
    Can you see the site?
[15:56] ---
    Oh, that's perfect!
[15:58] ---
    Multiple outbreaks of fires on this scale...
[16:02] ---
    Those Insects may be the cause of this.
[16:04] ---
    Additionally, we'll need to deal with
    the Evangelist's people.
[16:08] ---
    We don't have enough people on our own.
[16:13] ---
    Putting the Infernals to rest
    and saving lives is our top priority.
[16:16] ---
    Maki, watch the area from above
    and give us detailed reports.
[16:20] ---
    Yes, sir.
[16:21] ---
    I'm counting at least eight
    Infernals at the scene.
[16:24] ---
    One of them is approaching
    from three o'clock!
[16:27] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[16:28] ---
    I have a separate mission for you two.
[16:31] ---
    Shinra, you search for the schoolgirl
    and the White-Clad.
[16:34] ---
    Roger!
[16:35] ---
    Arthur, if the plasma-user
    shows up, deal with her.
[16:39] ---
    Is everyone ready?
[16:43] ---
    Company 8, let's go!
[16:45] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Yeah!
[16:50] ---
    So much fire, all at once...
[16:51] ---
    We're gonna earn like crazy!
[16:52] ---
    We should hurry and evacuate.
[16:54] ---
    What are you talking about?
    This is our chance to make a fortune!
[16:56] ---
    What are you talking about?
    It's too dangerous.
[16:59] ---
    You may have the ability to
    read where the flames are going,
[17:03] ---
    but we're just ordinary people.
[17:06] ---
    Oh, right.
[17:07] ---
    Well, I'll just go by myself then.
[17:08] ---
    Don't do it! There are
    Fire Soldiers there, too!
[17:12] ---
    I'm gonna have it all to myself.
[17:13] ---
    Hold on!
[17:15] ---
    How can I not dive into a thrill like this?
[17:19] ---
    Antenna perked up. Thoughts a-popping.
[17:23] ---
    Here come the whole town's
    thoughts flowing in!
[17:26] ---
    "Mwa-ha-ha"
[17:26] ---
    "Find you."
[17:27] ---
    "This is a little too much water."
[17:29] ---
    "Spread some more water and bam!"
[17:31] ---
    Found you!
[17:34] ---
    Here goes! Guerilla Radio! Radio Head!
[17:37] ---
    Incoming signals, Charon! Thoughts!
[17:42] ---
    The girl is at the park on top of the hill.
    Copy that! Moving to secure!
[17:47] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Yeah!
[17:48] ---
    This is seriously dangerous!
[17:49] ---
    Let me go! I lived through
    that huge fire before.
[17:53] ---
    That doesn't mean you'll
    survive this one, though.
[18:00] ---
    You're the Fifth Pillar, right?
[18:06] ---
    --Wha--?
    --Huh? You're Inca, right?
[18:08] ---
    No? Wrong? You're the Fifth Pillar, right?
[18:10] ---
    Tell me, you are, aren't you? Answer me!
[18:13] ---
    I know she's supposed to be
    here somewhere. This is it, right?
[18:16] ---
    Hey, what do you want?!
[18:24] ---
    B-B-Bro!
[18:28] ---
    My breath... My breathing... My chest...
[18:32] ---
    What's the matter, Inca?
[18:34] ---
    Oh, this? You'll get used to this right away.
[18:38] ---
    Get used to it?
[18:41] ---
    Where is the Fifth Pillar?
[18:44] ---
    Come along. The Evangelist is waiting.
[18:48] ---
    Get used to what? The sea of flames?
    The smell of freshly-spilled blood?
[18:53] ---
    The quest for even greater danger?
[18:55] ---
    Come with us. We need you.
[19:00] ---
    You... need me...?
[19:05] ---
    Who are you people? Why do you need me?
[19:09] ---
    To achieve the goal of the Evangelist.
    We're gathering the Pillars
[19:13] ---
    to once again trigger the Great Cataclysm
    from 250 years ago.
[19:20] ---
    What is that? It's not like the others.
[19:24] ---
    "Start"?
[19:31] ---
    Again...
[19:32] ---
    What?
[19:37] ---
    She's found her fire-ignition ability!
[19:42] ---
    Panda, get out of here!
    I'm the one he's after!
[19:46] ---
    You're not getting away!
[19:49] ---
    Evangelist? Great Cataclysm?
    Fifth Pillar? What does he mean?
[19:55] ---
    This is a weaker line than
    the others up to now, but...
[19:57] ---
    Huh?
[20:00] ---
    You can predict even faint
    heat? That's awesome.
[20:11] ---
    You have nowhere to run. Give up.
[20:14] ---
    Charon-sama...
[20:15] ---
    Seize her.
[20:17] ---
    What is it? Do you still see something?
[20:21] ---
    Huh? Do you see something else?
[20:23] ---
    What? Now what is it?
[20:27] ---
    Huh? Do you really see anything?
[20:29] ---
    The hero has arrived!
[20:33] ---
    Are you all right?
[20:34] ---
    The Special Fire Force?!
[20:36] ---
    Do you happen to be the Fifth Pillar?
    I'm taking you into custody.
[20:40] ---
    Fifth Pillar?! Why is the
    Special Fire Force after me, too?!
[20:45] ---
    Custody, you say? You can forget that.
[20:48] ---
    Just take it easy and
    let me handle this, please.
[20:53] ---
    You're Shinra Kusakabe, huh?
    The Fourth Pillar and the Fifth Pillar--
[20:58] ---
    if I catch you both,
    it'll be two Pillars with one stone.
[21:03] ---
    --One!
    --Charge him!
[21:04] ---
    --Two!
    --Charge him!
[21:05] ---
    --Three!
    --Charge him!
[21:07] ---
    Four!
[21:09] ---
    --One!
    --Overpower him!
[21:11] ---
    --Two!
    --Overpower him!
[21:12] ---
    --Three!
    --Overpower him!
[21:13] ---
    Four!
[21:25] ---
    You're fast, all right. But...
[21:39] ---
    I'd heard you went up against Sho,
[21:42] ---
    but unless you're receiving
    the Evangelist's Grace,
[21:44] ---
    you're just a nimble little fire-rat.
[21:47] ---
    Walk!
[21:58] ---
    Charon's gone and gotten started.
[22:01] ---
    Okay, Mister Hero,
    go ahead and protect Inca-chan.
[22:05] ---
    Because if you don't,
    we're gonna take her from you.
[22:13] ---
    Come on, fire-rat, run away with
    those fast feet you're so proud of.
[22:18] ---
    Screw that. There's no way I'm
    running from you, you bombshell gorilla.

[00:02] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:16] ---
    ...is death by fire.
[00:29] ---
    Please evacuate quickly!
[00:31] ---
    We will put the Infernals to rest!
[00:42] ---
    Aw, not our town...
[00:47] ---
    Someone, please hurry and
    put my husband out of his misery!
[00:51] ---
    An Infernal!
[00:53] ---
    Sister!
[00:54] ---
    Right!
[00:56] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[01:02] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[01:05] ---
    May thy soul return to
    the great flame of fire.
[01:10] ---
    Látom.
[01:14] ---
    That was the third one.
[01:16] ---
    There are so many of them,
[01:17] ---
    and they're spreading
    out throughout the town.
[01:21] ---
    I've spotted several of them
    near the lieutenant.
[01:24] ---
    It appears that the number of
    Infernals is still increasing.
[01:33] ---
    With this many of them, there's no question
    they're using those Insects.
[01:38] ---
    There has to be a command center
    somewhere directing them all.
[01:41] ---
    It could be that plasma user from the Nether.
[01:46] ---
    Haumea-sama, we have finished
    exploring the eastern quarter.
[01:49] ---
    Even after all that, there is still
    no one compatible. On to the next area.
[01:58] ---
    Get some distance.
[02:00] ---
    The Fire Force is nearby.
[03:32] ---
    "Episode 4:
    Groping Through the Fire"
[03:42] ---
    Blue Stripes! We've got an Infernal!
[03:52] ---
    There are so many of them.
[03:53] ---
    Keep spraying them to slow them down
    until we can put them to rest.
[03:56] ---
    Got it.
[03:58] ---
    Maki-san, we're more or less
    keeping them at bay,
[04:01] ---
    but we need the sister to put them to rest.
[04:03] ---
    Copy.
[04:05] ---
    The sister is heading this way now!
[04:07] ---
    Just hold on!
[04:14] ---
    Vulcan!
[04:16] ---
    Infernals from the rear, too?
[04:30] ---
    I am terribly sorry. Please forgive me
    for putting you to rest without a prayer.
[04:36] ---
    No, it's all right, Lieutenant!
[04:41] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[04:47] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul
    return to the great flame of fire.
[04:53] ---
    Látom.
[04:59] ---
    Látom.
[05:01] ---
    Are you all right, Vulcan-san?
[05:03] ---
    That was close. You saved me.
[05:05] ---
    I'm sorry we took so long. We just
    finished putting another one to rest.
[05:09] ---
    I need you to keep stopping them
    on the front lines.
[05:11] ---
    If we don't ensure the Fire Fighters' safety,
    they can't put out the fires.
[05:15] ---
    Understood, sir.
[05:17] ---
    Vulcan, good to go?
[05:18] ---
    No problem, sir.
    Two more Infernals down this way.
[05:23] ---
    Ugh, if I'd known it would be like this,
    I wouldn't have come.
[05:27] ---
    The distribution of these Infernals
    is not at all spontaneous.
[05:30] ---
    They're probably using Insects
    to set people ablaze and split us up.
[05:33] ---
    Maki, Vulcan, locate the plasma user for me.
[05:36] ---
    She must be issuing instructions
    to the hostiles throughout town.
[05:55] ---
    Vulcan, plasma user acquired.
[05:58] ---
    I'll send Arthur her way,
    so send me her location.
[06:01] ---
    Copy.
[06:06] ---
    Arthur, do you read me?
[06:08] ---
    I've located the plasma user.
[06:09] ---
    I'm coming to get you
    on the double, so fight her off.
[06:22] ---
    I'm taking you with me, too.
    Don't interfere, just come quietly.
[06:27] ---
    Screw that!
[06:29] ---
    Who do you two think you are?
[06:31] ---
    I'll decide for myself what I'm gonna do.
[06:33] ---
    I may not understand what your objective is,
[06:35] ---
    but don't go deciding for me
    if you're escorting me or securing me!
[06:39] ---
    WALK!
[06:50] ---
    You possess an Adolla Burst.
    Your freedom... is gone.
[07:06] ---
    I'll take you somewhere safe right away.
[07:09] ---
    Just leave this to me. I'm a hero, after all.
[07:13] ---
    Safe? What for? That's so dull.
    Out of the question.
[07:23] ---
    Day-to-day life without any thrills?
    That would be so boring.
[07:29] ---
    Count me out.
[07:31] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:32] ---
    You may steal money from people,
    but you still save their lives, right?
[07:36] ---
    I don't care if you do save me,
    I'm not giving you anything.
[07:40] ---
    I was never after anything
    in return in the first place!
[07:42] ---
    It's because you people are like this
[07:44] ---
    that people think getting rescued
    is something to be expected.
[07:47] ---
    You're turning out incompetent scum
    that can do nothing but wait for you!
[07:50] ---
    As long as the people end up
    getting rescued, what does it matter?
[07:53] ---
    Having an ability doesn't make you a bigshot!
[07:55] ---
    People don't know what's
    right or what's wrong.
[07:59] ---
    Don't go forcing your boring safety on me!
[08:02] ---
    Huh?
[08:12] ---
    Whoa,
[08:14] ---
    this one is tough. Still...
[08:19] ---
    I'm just gonna burn the same way
    I've seen others, right?
[08:22] ---
    What's suddenly come over you?
[08:25] ---
    So what if I just do whatever I want to?
[08:51] ---
    Wait!
[08:56] ---
    The Fifth Pillar belongs to us!
[08:58] ---
    Get out of my way!
[09:05] ---
    I'm picking up multiple heat sources.
[09:08] ---
    Stay right with me.
[09:10] ---
    Two of them at one o'clock.
[09:12] ---
    One of them at nine o'clock.
[09:18] ---
    No, there's more than just them.
[09:21] ---
    So it would seem.
[09:22] ---
    How are we supposed to stop this many of them
    without putting them to rest?
[09:31] ---
    Hold on!
[09:43] ---
    There's a far stronger heat source
    coming from that group of them!
[09:46] ---
    What?
[09:54] ---
    Is that...?
[10:04] ---
    A demon Infernal.
[10:36] ---
    It can't be...
[10:41] ---
    This is great!
[10:42] ---
    Of course a demon is gonna be born!
[10:45] ---
    We have someone here who just
    had her Adolla Burst awaken.
[10:47] ---
    I knew that if we used Insects around her
    to cause human combustion,
[10:50] ---
    we'd have a demon pop up from among them.
[10:54] ---
    Though I have to admit, it's gonna be
    quite the ordeal for them.
[10:56] ---
    Imagine, not being able to finish off
    an Infernal without putting them to rest!
[11:00] ---
    You Fire Soldiers sure tie yourselves up
    in some inconvenient bondage games.
[11:05] ---
    Maki-san, we've got a demon on our hands now.
[11:08] ---
    There's no way we can stop them.
[11:09] ---
    The sister is heading there now.
[11:11] ---
    Just hang on!
[11:13] ---
    Easy for her to say.
[11:18] ---
    What are we supposed to do by ourselves?
[11:21] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[11:23] ---
    I didn't mean to take so long.
    I had some trouble getting changed.
[11:28] ---
    Tamaki, you've been through
    the sisters' training?
[11:30] ---
    Well, I did come from the 1st, after all.
[11:33] ---
    But this is my first time
    putting anyone to rest in the field.
[11:35] ---
    Do your best.
[11:36] ---
    Yes, sir, I'll start right away--
[11:41] ---
    Why me?
[11:43] ---
    How did everything from
    the neck down come off?
[11:45] ---
    And how come only the veil stayed on?
[11:48] ---
    The bikini-and-veil look
    is an awfully niche kink.
[11:51] ---
    Wait, if you can get to heaven that way,
    that may not sound so bad.
[11:55] ---
    Don't be ridiculous. There's no way.
[12:00] ---
    --Here they come!
    --If we can't put them to rest,
    what are we supposed to do?!
[12:02] ---
    --If we can't put them to rest,
    what are we supposed to do?!
[12:03] ---
    Oh, sorry! I'll get dressed again right away!
[12:13] ---
    Hang in there, Vulcan.
[12:16] ---
    This is where we're gonna
    meet our end, all right.
[12:18] ---
    Don't give up!
[12:19] ---
    Just hold on, you two! I'm almost finished--
[12:22] ---
    Damn it! Whoa...!
[12:24] ---
    --Vulcan!
    --Damn it, damn it...!
[12:39] ---
    For heaven's sake, Tamaki...
[12:42] ---
    As always, what are you even doing?
[12:45] ---
    Lieutenant Karim!
[12:57] ---
    This is Hinawa. Lieutenant Karim
    from the 1st has joined us.
[13:01] ---
    He's here? That's a big help.
[13:03] ---
    I thought we couldn't count on any of
    the other companies to work with us.
[13:07] ---
    Not officially, no. But I requested
    a little personal assistance.
[13:12] ---
    I hear you're short on clerical help.
[13:15] ---
    I'm really glad you're here.
    Now we can put them to rest.
[13:21] ---
    All right, let's go!
[13:34] ---
    Go grab the girl who ran away.
[13:36] ---
    Sir!
[13:37] ---
    Hold it!
[13:39] ---
    Move it!
[13:41] ---
    Let go of me, you...!
[13:43] ---
    No you don't!
[13:52] ---
    Is that...?
[13:54] ---
    Backdraft Bubblish Gum.
[14:02] ---
    It's you! The guy from the 5th!
[14:04] ---
    Toru Kishiri!
[14:06] ---
    I got a request that you wanted
    some extra help, so here I am.
[14:11] ---
    There's another one?
[14:12] ---
    N-No, not me. I just happened
    to be passing by. No, really...
[14:24] ---
    Whoa, hell of a barrage.
[14:27] ---
    This is bad! This is bad, but here I am!
[14:32] ---
    Juggernaut!
[14:35] ---
    Let's get 'em!
[14:44] ---
    We can't just run up to them.
[14:51] ---
    Stay away!
[15:00] ---
    Way to go, Juggernaut! I'll make sure
    not to let them anywhere near us,
[15:04] ---
    so you just keep on backing away
    and firing at them!
[15:07] ---
    You just make sure!
[15:08] ---
    Keep your distance and return fire!
[15:11] ---
    Sir!
[15:16] ---
    Keep away!
[15:25] ---
    I hate to do this, you
    two, but you've got this!
[15:28] ---
    Huh?!
[15:30] ---
    I'm not going to let them get that girl!
[15:32] ---
    Hm? Shinra Kusakabe!
    Where do you think you're going?
[15:36] ---
    You're going where Inca is, right?
    Isn't that right?!
[15:40] ---
    Answer my question!
[15:53] ---
    Damn it!
[16:04] ---
    Let me go! Let go of me!
[16:06] ---
    Be quiet!
[16:07] ---
    Stop that! Let the girl go!
[16:10] ---
    Butt out! I want to live someplace that
    scares the living daylights out of me!
[16:15] ---
    What is wrong with you?
[16:32] ---
    Hurry! The Infernals are coming!
[16:34] ---
    That way is cut off!
[16:36] ---
    Sister, we need to put
    the next one to rest, please.
[16:39] ---
    Yes, sir.
[16:42] ---
    We call it a prayer, but she puts
    her whole soul into supplicating.
[16:47] ---
    The sister's strength and
    concentration has their limits.
[16:52] ---
    Are you all right, Sister?
[16:54] ---
    Hmm? There's nothing at
    all wrong with me, sir.
[16:58] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[17:05] ---
    Who are you?
[17:07] ---
    A sister squad under the
    command of Lieutenant Karim.
[17:15] ---
    Company 2 Platoon on the scene!
[17:19] ---
    Company 5 Platoon, secure an
    evacuation route for the civilians!
[17:22] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[17:28] ---
    Am I glad to see them! Reinforcements!
[17:31] ---
    Captain Obi, I am Platoon Leader
    Taguchi, from the 2nd.
[17:35] ---
    I am Platoon Leader Tokuyama, from the 5th.
[17:38] ---
    Thanks for the assistance.
    I'm glad you answered my call.
[17:43] ---
    I've known about you since
    your days as a regular Fire Fighter, sir.
[17:48] ---
    It is an honor to be able to
    work together with you today.
[17:53] ---
    Company 2 Platoon, put
    those Infernals to rest!
[17:56] ---
    Company 5 Platoon, after securing
    that route, get everyone evacuated!
[18:00] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[18:02] ---
    Captain, look how many of them
    there are. Isn't this great?
[18:07] ---
    Yeah.
[18:09] ---
    We aren't the only Fire Soldiers
    that want to protect people.
[18:19] ---
    The flames are now spread
    out all across town.
[18:24] ---
    Adding a few more Fire Soldiers
    at this point won't do any good.
[18:29] ---
    The Fifth Pillar is as good as ours.
[18:32] ---
    Celestial Knight Slash!
[18:36] ---
    Whoa, you freaked me out.
[18:38] ---
    Gah, it's you again!
[18:40] ---
    Maki, shock lady acquired.
[18:43] ---
    Take her out.
[18:45] ---
    So you're the enemy commander, are you?
[18:48] ---
    I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!
[18:51] ---
    Charon, I've got a problem here. Hurry it up.
[18:54] ---
    I'm not siding with either one of you guys!
    Let me go! Release me!
[19:00] ---
    Let the girl go!
[19:07] ---
    --Hold her there.
    --Let me go!
[19:08] ---
    Sir.
[19:10] ---
    I'm getting real tired of
    that hulking frame of yours.
[19:14] ---
    I'll blow you away!
[19:17] ---
    That was nothing!
[19:20] ---
    CLAP!
[19:31] ---
    Your attacks are all speed and no heat.
[19:36] ---
    Oh, shut up. Screw you.
[19:40] ---
    Still, the fact remains that
    my Rapid doesn't work against him.
[19:52] ---
    He triggers explosions just by walking.
[19:55] ---
    I could create explosions
    like that, too, if I wanted to.
[20:03] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[20:08] ---
    Fire!
[20:12] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[20:14] ---
    May thy soul return to
    the great flame of fire. Látom.
[20:27] ---
    Captain, the Infernals are being
    put to rest like clockwork now.
[20:31] ---
    But how are we going to
    extinguish all this fire?
[20:34] ---
    The way things are headed,
    the whole town is going to burn down.
[20:47] ---
    Return to the great flame of fire.
[20:49] ---
    Látom.
[20:50] ---
    Whew. That just leaves...
[20:53] ---
    ...the one-horned demon Infernal!
[21:08] ---
    Damn! I can't send out orders
    when you're around!
[21:13] ---
    I am going to shatter your scheme!
[21:15] ---
    Hmph, oh, are you, now?
    But then, we already have the Fifth Pillar!
[21:23] ---
    We're going to be the ones
    to assemble the eight key Pillars.
[21:27] ---
    Unhand me! I do not belong to anyone!
[21:30] ---
    Let me go! Release me!
[21:33] ---
    That leaves you, Fourth Pillar.
[21:38] ---
    I can't beat him like this. However...
[21:43] ---
    ...when I was training with Captain Shinmon,
[21:46] ---
    there was one tenokata form
    that caused an explosion.
[21:50] ---
    You extend your index and pinky fingers.
[21:53] ---
    Whenever you get in a pinch,
    remember "rock" while making this sign,
[21:56] ---
    and it will inspire courage within you.
[22:02] ---
    I guess I'll try it.
[22:05] ---
    I'm just getting started, you damn gorilla!
[22:12] ---
    The form I learned from Captain Obi himself--
[22:18] ---
    the "Corna"!

    While fighting an uphill battle
    against a foe he can't lay a scratch on,
[24:10] ---
    he finally figures out the secret.
    Now, Shinra-san! Your finishing move!

    We'll see about that!

[00:10] ---
    Hey, Charon!
[00:11] ---
    I've got my own hands full of trouble up here!
    Hurry up and grab the Pillar!
[00:16] ---
    I read you, Haumea.
[00:21] ---
    Bastard!
[00:25] ---
    This guy is pretty tough in his own right.
[00:32] ---
    This guy's a rock. No matter how hard
    I attack, he doesn't even flinch.
[00:37] ---
    It's almost like I'm not even hurting him.
[00:41] ---
    Again?!
[00:42] ---
    SNAP!
[00:51] ---
    Damn...
[00:53] ---
    I'm not just not hurting him,
    he doesn't even have a scratch.
[00:56] ---
    Where is all the energy from
    my full-power kicks going?
[01:01] ---
    Not to mention his explosive
    pyrokinetic ability...
[01:06] ---
    All he has to do is walk
    and it triggers explosions.
[01:13] ---
    He's able to walk quietly, too.
    Did those explosions use up all his gas?
[01:20] ---
    If something seems out of place,
    then I need to reconsider it from square one.
[01:26] ---
    Energy that seems to just disappear...
[01:29] ---
    Explosions...
[01:31] ---
    The way he explicitly calls it out
    when he uses his ability...
[01:34] ---
    That first overblown explosion
    he made a show of at the start...
[01:38] ---
    Because of all that,
[01:40] ---
    I made the unwarranted assumption
    that he has to be a third generation.
[01:46] ---
    What generation are you?
[03:21] ---
    "Episode 5:
    Corna (Sign of the Devil)"
[03:43] ---
    Step back and stay behind me.
[04:08] ---
    That is amazing.
[04:11] ---
    It's no big deal.
[04:14] ---
    Using your opponent's flames to
    turn heat into sound, and sound into cold.
[04:19] ---
    Second generations each have
    our own areas of specialty,
[04:22] ---
    but I've never seen anything like this.
[04:24] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa, your ultra-fine
    flame control is something
[04:28] ---
    I could never duplicate, either.
[04:29] ---
    You second generations sure do
    have some radical abilities.
[04:34] ---
    We may not be able to create our own flames,
[04:36] ---
    but if we're facing a third generation,
[04:38] ---
    we can still use their own flames to fight with.
[04:41] ---
    Which is the whole reason why our tactic
    when fighting a third generation
[04:44] ---
    is to conceal what generation we are
    to get them to create their flames,
[04:47] ---
    and catch them off guard.
[04:51] ---
    So that's what's going on.
[04:55] ---
    You created a big extravagant
    explosion at the start
[04:58] ---
    to give off the illusion of
    being a third generation.
[05:01] ---
    You convert the kinetic energy you receive
    from an attack into heat energy,
[05:05] ---
    and then release it to attack.
[05:08] ---
    You're a second generation, aren't you?!
[05:11] ---
    I got tricked by your typical
    muscle-headed appearance.
[05:14] ---
    Yeah, you're absolutely right.
[05:21] ---
    But then, so what if I am?!
[05:26] ---
    He's right.
[05:28] ---
    Even after I've figured out the trick,
[05:30] ---
    it's not as though I'm
    any closer to landing any attacks.
[05:36] ---
    Unless I defeat this guy,
    I can't offer Inca any protection.
[05:40] ---
    But what do I do? Even if I do attack,
    he just sends it back as an explosion!
[05:45] ---
    But if I stand here doing nothing,
    I'm just gonna get beaten up.
[05:48] ---
    What's the matter? Too afraid of
    my counters to attack?
[05:53] ---
    You have to attack if you want
    to defeat your opponent!
[05:58] ---
    Think!
[06:00] ---
    As long as I don't lay a hand on him,
    he can't hit me back that hard--
[06:03] ---
    Hey, guys!
[06:07] ---
    No way...
[06:26] ---
    STAMP!
[06:47] ---
    Hold on...
[06:51] ---
    That's it. It's all in the timing.
[06:55] ---
    He absorbs energy, then releases it.
    The moment he releases it,
[06:59] ---
    his second-generation control over flames
    is directed outward, not inward.
[07:05] ---
    If I can counter his counter just right...
[07:08] ---
    I can't prove it will work,
    but it's still worth trying.
[07:14] ---
    And worth trying is all I have right now!
[07:17] ---
    Using my Corna, here!
[07:31] ---
    I'm going...
[07:33] ---
    ...to knock him flat!
[07:42] ---
    CLAP!
[07:43] ---
    Now!
[07:47] ---
    Damn, it didn't work!
[07:49] ---
    I could do it in Asakusa,
    but not here! What's different?!
[07:57] ---
    Being psyched up!
[07:58] ---
    I'm not psyched enough! Let's do this, damn it!
[08:04] ---
    Blow up, damn you!
[08:21] ---
    Damn... Why did Captain Obi
    even teach me about the Corna sign?
[08:30] ---
    The "Maloik Sign," the "Devil's Sign," "Corna"--
[08:34] ---
    it goes by many different names,
[08:36] ---
    but the fingers sticking up
    look just like a devil's horns.
[08:40] ---
    When we Fire Soldiers
    lose heart, we're done for.
[08:45] ---
    This sign is used to inspire your heart
    and strengthen your feelings.
[08:50] ---
    But a devil, sir? I'm a hero, not a devil.
[08:55] ---
    Oh, just listen.
[08:56] ---
    It's a sign that musicians who
    performed music known as "rock"
[08:59] ---
    used a long, long time ago.
[09:01] ---
    Nowadays, it only exists as audio
    in museums, but it is so cool.
[09:09] ---
    Whenever you get in a pinch,
    remember "rock" while making this sign,
[09:13] ---
    and it will inspire courage within you.
[09:16] ---
    Isn't that great? Kind of like
    your own trademark.
[09:24] ---
    I get the feeling that if I go down here,
    I'm not getting back up.
[09:31] ---
    If I mess up the timing even a little,
    it will all come back on me.
[09:38] ---
    Can I really get away with
    doing this and having it work?
[09:45] ---
    I'm not freaking out. I'm just
    making sure of my odds of winning!
[09:51] ---
    Which is the whole reason why
    I need the effort it takes to not fail,
[09:55] ---
    and the courage it takes to succeed!
[09:59] ---
    No matter how much I fight it,
    this "devil" thing keeps following me around.
[10:04] ---
    So I'll just be...
[10:07] ---
    ...a devil toward evil!
[10:18] ---
    --Corna!
    --CLAP!
[10:21] ---
    No way...
[10:23] ---
    Oh, crap...
[10:26] ---
    Choke on the flames of Hell!
[10:32] ---
    "Corna (Sign of the Devil)"
[10:38] ---
    Charon-sama!
[10:53] ---
    Rock & roll!
[11:00] ---
    "Episode 5:
    A Secret Plan"
[11:09] ---
    Not Charon the Reflector...
[11:11] ---
    Let the girl go!
[11:17] ---
    The Special Fire Force is taking her
    into protective custody.
[11:56] ---
    Damn, he's already broken out of that.
    I guess that didn't buy us much time.
[12:00] ---
    Everyone, please stand back.
[12:06] ---
    We'll create a firewall to
    protect us all from the flames!
[12:09] ---
    Second generations, join forces
    and take a defensive position!
[12:16] ---
    This is a demon...
[12:19] ---
    How are we supposed to
    take down something like that?
[12:22] ---
    The Special Fire Force has only
    defeated demons twice before.
[12:26] ---
    Once in Asakusa, when Lieutenant Konro
    used the ultra-high firepower of Crimson Moon,
[12:31] ---
    and again in Asakusa,
    when Captain Shinmon used Crimson Moon.
[12:36] ---
    Theoretically, if we can generate
    that much firepower,
[12:38] ---
    then putting a demon to rest might be possible.
[12:41] ---
    That scale of firepower?
    Licht, do you have any ideas?
[12:46] ---
    You're asking me for ideas?
[12:48] ---
    Why didn't you call the 7th
    in Asakusa to help us, sir?
[12:51] ---
    I did call! But they never answer their phone!
[12:54] ---
    We have all the flames we could ask for!
[12:56] ---
    Should I freeze him again?
[13:15] ---
    We have all the flames we could ask for...
[13:19] ---
    Yes I do, sir!
[13:21] ---
    A plan that will kill two birds with one stone--
[13:24] ---
    put out all the flames in town
    and defeat the demon!
[13:26] ---
    Licht, how can we do that?
[13:29] ---
    With a plan that uses all
    the second generations we have
[13:33] ---
    and the layout of the town to round up
    the flames and the demon together!
[13:37] ---
    Let's get started!
[13:52] ---
    This is Yamazaki! Target point reached!
[13:55] ---
    This is Yamamoto! In position!
[13:57] ---
    Moritani here! Target point reached!
[13:59] ---
    This is 2nd Platoon Leader Taguchi!
    Target point reached!
[14:03] ---
    This is 5th Platoon Leader Tokuyama!
    We've all reached our target points, too!
[14:07] ---
    Copy!
[14:08] ---
    The platoons from the 2nd
    and 5th are all in position.
[14:11] ---
    Good. Hinawa, you've got the demon!
[14:14] ---
    Roger!
[14:20] ---
    Come on!
[14:24] ---
    Hey, are you sure I don't
    have to do anything yet?
[14:28] ---
    Lieutenant Karim, we're saving you
    for the finishing touch.
[14:32] ---
    The flames all over town are
    already burning out of control.
[14:35] ---
    If we could gather those flames into one place
    and extinguish them all at once...
[14:40] ---
    It's easy to say the words,
    but how do we do that?
[14:44] ---
    We have a good number of
    second generations on site
[14:46] ---
    who are able to manipulate flames.
    We're going to take their power,
[14:49] ---
    and combine it with this town's wind power.
[14:52] ---
    Wind?
[14:54] ---
    Towns have several different kinds of wind.
[14:57] ---
    This town specifically has...
[14:59] ---
    ...the kind of valley winds that
    blow between high-rise buildings...
[15:04] ---
    ...and the kind of street winds
    that blow along main roads.
[15:07] ---
    The place where these two
    kinds of wind come together...
[15:11] ---
    ...is here, in the central square.
[15:13] ---
    It's the terminal point of this town
[15:15] ---
    where winds blow in from both directions
    and combine together.
[15:18] ---
    Uh-huh...
[15:19] ---
    By manipulating the flames
    from all over into the air currents,
[15:23] ---
    we can combine their abilities and the wind
[15:25] ---
    to concentrate all the flames together.
[15:28] ---
    And then, the flames within the
    air currents will ultimately end up...
[15:34] ---
    ...in the central square,
    where Crewman Maki is waiting for them!
[15:40] ---
    Please keep back! Get back!
[15:42] ---
    Please keep back!
[15:44] ---
    Evacuate to a safe location!
[15:46] ---
    Everyone, please remain calm!
[15:48] ---
    Oh, I'm begging you...
[15:51] ---
    I was born and raised in this town!
[15:54] ---
    Leave it to us. The Special Fire Force
    will safeguard your town!
[16:03] ---
    In order to put the demon to rest,
[16:05] ---
    we create a certain phenomenon
    with those concentrated flames.
[16:09] ---
    Usually, whenever one of
    these appears, it's a disaster.
[16:13] ---
    But if Crewman Maki can keep it
    under control with her ability,
[16:15] ---
    the two winds blowing into the square
    from two directions will feed the flames,
[16:20] ---
    and create a vortex!
[16:23] ---
    The phenomenon that arises from that...
[16:32] ---
    "Firestorm"
[16:33] ---
    ...is a firestorm!
[16:35] ---
    I've read about these in fire scene reports,
    but are you serious?
[16:39] ---
    Did you actually create one?
[16:40] ---
    Just as I figured! You're amazing,
    Maki-san! Leave it to our witch!
[16:45] ---
    A flame tornado, just like Licht calculated...
[16:50] ---
    So now,
[16:52] ---
    how do we get the demon inside the tornado?
[17:00] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa!
[17:02] ---
    This is going to be no easy task.
[17:07] ---
    C'mon, big fella!
[17:09] ---
    Ow, that's hot!
[17:14] ---
    Whoo, that was hot...
[17:16] ---
    Not again. Please don't
    get in over your head, sir.
[17:19] ---
    What do we do? The only way
    to throw him in is by force.
[17:23] ---
    Hinawa, you just keep his attention drawn.
[17:27] ---
    Vulcan, where are you?!
[17:28] ---
    Arriving now, sir!
[17:33] ---
    The Matchbox?
[17:35] ---
    What do you have in mind?
[17:37] ---
    It has that lame-brained
    fire extinguisher that Vulcan built.
[17:40] ---
    Huh? You're going to use that, sir?
[17:45] ---
    I'll be ready in no time! Setting anchors!
[17:53] ---
    I just need to keep this thing occupied
    until you're ready, then?
[17:56] ---
    I'll help you with that!
[17:58] ---
    Deploying extinguisher!
[18:02] ---
    That dimwitted extinguisher
    with the water pressure so strong,
[18:05] ---
    it also destroys the target
    being extinguished...
[18:07] ---
    Captain, take the gunner's seat!
[18:09] ---
    I-I'm going to shoot it?!
[18:12] ---
    The aim assist function will
    automatically follow the sight.
[18:14] ---
    Captain, you just have to target
    the center and push the button.
[18:19] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[18:24] ---
    Oh, this is... pretty hard...
[18:30] ---
    Go on, Captain! Now! Hit the button!
[18:36] ---
    Captain? What's the matter?
[18:38] ---
    A-All right...
[18:40] ---
    Oh, is this it?
[18:43] ---
    Come on! Now! Do it now!
[18:46] ---
    Okay, now! Shoot! Okay, now!
    Right there! Shoot! Huh?!
[18:53] ---
    Hey, Captain Obi! What are you
    waiting for?! Just shoot!
[18:56] ---
    I've never been good at these kinds of games!
[18:59] ---
    All you have to do is shoot!
[19:01] ---
    Shooting is what I have trouble with.
[19:02] ---
    Playing the games is harder than this!
[19:04] ---
    Oh, is this it?
[19:09] ---
    Ah, for the love of...!
[19:12] ---
    Hey, Vulcan! What are you doing?!
[19:14] ---
    Now it's harder than ever to aim, you know!
[19:16] ---
    I'm making it so you can shoot
    without having to aim!
[19:22] ---
    Gotcha!
[19:25] ---
    There, he's right in front of you! Now shoot!
[19:28] ---
    All right!
[19:38] ---
    The estimated wind speed inside the firestorm
    is about 60 meters per second!
[19:42] ---
    There's no way he can escape that!
[19:43] ---
    Hinawa!
[19:44] ---
    I'll take it from here, sir!
[19:53] ---
    Trajectory Control!
[19:56] ---
    This firestorm is testament to
    the bond among the Special Fire Force!
[20:03] ---
    Come on, 8th, pull this off.
[20:08] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa uses
    the flames of the firestorm
[20:11] ---
    as fuel to accelerate
    the velocity of the projectile.
[20:14] ---
    The firestorm itself becomes like
    the barrel of a giant railgun!
[20:27] ---
    From here on out, the Special Fire Force
    will become one.
[20:41] ---
    Lieutenant Karim, that's all I can do!
[20:45] ---
    Well done! Let me take it from here!
[20:56] ---
    That was Lieutenant Karim!
[20:58] ---
    He stopped that huge fire in an instant!
[21:06] ---
    I think I just made enough ice
    to last a lifetime.
[21:09] ---
    The 7th's captain and lieutenant
[21:12] ---
    put to rest one of those demons
    by themselves? Those guys are beasts.
[21:18] ---
    It's over.
[21:21] ---
    That one was on the scale of
    the Great Fire two years ago,
[21:24] ---
    and he kept the damage down to a minimum.
[21:26] ---
    Incredible. That's Captain Obi for you.
[21:31] ---
    So this is the strength of the 8th.
[21:36] ---
    You did well, Maki.
[21:38] ---
    Thank you very much, sir.
[21:40] ---
    How fantastic to see a firestorm this close up!
[21:44] ---
    That cool breeze sure feels good.
[21:47] ---
    Fire Soldiers from companies
    other than the 8th also acted on this.
[21:50] ---
    Am I ever glad for that.
[21:53] ---
    That just leaves the Evangelist's people.
[21:57] ---
    Shinra, Arthur, it's up to you.
[22:02] ---
    What is that pillar of ice?
[22:05] ---
    What exactly is happening?
[22:09] ---
    It's scary!
[22:11] ---
    You're the first person to ever
    deal any damage to me.
[22:18] ---
    I'm gonna lay another one on you!

[00:02] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:17] ---
    ...is death by fire.
[00:28] ---
    What is that pillar of ice?
[00:32] ---
    What exactly is happening?
[00:36] ---
    It's scary!
[00:39] ---
    You're the first person to ever

[00:43] ---
    I'm gonna lay another one on you!
[00:55] ---
    Charon,
[00:56] ---
    it's time.
[00:57] ---
    The fires are out and the Fire Force
    can move around freely now.
[01:01] ---
    Just bring the Fifth Pillar with you.
[01:10] ---
    We're withdrawing.
[01:11] ---
    See you later! Adieu, Plasma Boy!
[01:14] ---
    Hold it!
[01:20] ---
    She used magnetism to
    brake her descent on the way down?
[01:25] ---
    Hold it!
[01:27] ---
    The Special Fire Force is taking
    that girl into protective custody!
[01:29] ---
    Your name is Inca, right? If you use
    your power, you can slip out of those!
[01:34] ---
    Come over to me!
[03:07] ---
    "Episode 6:
    The Time to Choose"
[03:12] ---
    I've already figured out your tactic
    in going after my counters.
[03:16] ---
    I won't fall for that trick again.
[03:18] ---
    What are you planning to do
    in your situation now?
[03:23] ---
    He's right. Now that he
    knows how I'm attacking,
[03:26] ---
    if I just charge in at him blindly,
    I'll be playing right into his hands.
[03:30] ---
    I have to take Inca and
    get her out of here somehow.
[03:33] ---
    Charon-sama, Haumea-sama's
    brainwaves toward us
[03:36] ---
    telling us to get going
    aren't letting up. Let's go!
[03:39] ---
    Inca! What are you waiting
    for! Come over here!
[03:43] ---
    Use your power to get loose!
[03:48] ---
    With a wave of my finger, I can make flames.
[03:51] ---
    By tracing those lines,
    I could even cause explosions.
[03:55] ---
    But right now, I don't see any.
[03:58] ---
    Which means that right now,
    I won't be producing any flames.
[04:04] ---
    I'm sure my ability must
    let me see visions of the future.
[04:11] ---
    It feels really weird
    deciding what to do now,
[04:14] ---
    when I already know the future outcome,
    but I'm sure I don't see anything.
[04:20] ---
    Which means that I'm going to go with
    these iffy guys without any resistance.
[04:28] ---
    My brother was also
    kidnapped by these people,
[04:30] ---
    and had his life turned upside down!
[04:32] ---
    You're not with them, Inca!
[04:34] ---
    That won't help. Persuade all you want,
    but I can see how I'll end up.
[04:39] ---
    I'll be revealed to be the Fireground Thief,
    and lose my freedom, right?
[04:44] ---
    I'm going to be apprehended
    by either one or the other.
[04:51] ---
    I get it. If I take your hand,
[04:54] ---
    there are crimes that I'm
    going to have to answer for,
[04:57] ---
    but I'll still have a life
    of safety waiting for me.
[05:06] ---
    On the other hand, if I go
    with these guys, my future will be...
[05:16] ---
    Take me away.
[05:17] ---
    Hey!
[05:18] ---
    ♪ Danger, danger. ♪
[05:20] ---
    Going with them seems like
    the more dangerous play.
[05:23] ---
    You gotta be kidding me!
    Take a look at this town!
[05:27] ---
    This is what those White-Clad
    did so they could catch you!
[05:32] ---
    There are people who wanted to
    live longer, but couldn't be saved!
[05:36] ---
    And yet you're voluntarily
    letting it go to waste!
[05:41] ---
    What do you take your life for?!
[05:42] ---
    You think I care about that?!
[05:45] ---
    Doesn't matter to me
    what happens to anyone else!
[05:47] ---
    It's my life! It doesn't
    belong to anyone else!
[05:49] ---
    Don't you compare it to the
    worthless lives of those around me!
[05:52] ---
    It's my life! I don't consider this a waste!
[05:55] ---
    How is it a waste?! This is why I enjoy
    the thrill of exposing myself to danger!
[05:59] ---
    To feel the joy of life
    out of the fear of losing it!
[06:10] ---
    I don't care how much
    other human debris might croak,
[06:13] ---
    I am going to preserve my own life.
[06:16] ---
    It's just like you say,
    Mr. Fire Soldier. Life is precious.
[06:33] ---
    Let's go, Charon.
    Show me a good time, all right?
[06:41] ---
    You're taking me too damn lightly.
[06:46] ---
    Wait right there!
[06:47] ---
    I am going to kill you!
[06:53] ---
    That's far better than having you
    protect me, or take me into custody.
[06:57] ---
    In that case, by all means, come for me.
[07:00] ---
    I'll be waiting for you.
[07:02] ---
    Wait...
[07:11] ---
    Is that what Inca would rather do?
[07:15] ---
    Does Sho prefer staying
    with the White-Clad, too?
[07:22] ---
    No, that can't be true!
[07:31] ---
    Took you long enough.
[07:34] ---
    So you're the Fifth Pillar, Inca Kasugatani?
[07:39] ---
    Who is this?
[07:41] ---
    Yikes. Looks like I could
    short out just by touching her.
[07:45] ---
    We're getting out of here, now.
[07:51] ---
    Hold it!
[07:57] ---
    Panda!
[07:59] ---
    How dare you kill my bro!
    You let Boss Inca go!
[08:03] ---
    Boss Inca, hurry and come back over here!
[08:06] ---
    Charon...
[08:07] ---
    Yeah, I'm on it.
[08:16] ---
    I can see it, so I have no choice.
[08:19] ---
    This isn't my decision.
[08:23] ---
    It's just how... "fate" would have it.
[08:28] ---
    Not me.
[08:55] ---
    Inca! Inca!
[09:04] ---
    Come on,
[09:05] ---
    let's get going.
[09:27] ---
    Did we... make it?
[09:30] ---
    It looks like the White-Clad
    people have retreated.
[09:36] ---
    Yeah, and just like that,
    the fires are under control, too.
[09:44] ---
    Stop!
[09:46] ---
    All right, just set her down right there.
[09:50] ---
    Are you all right, Shinra?
[09:52] ---
    Yes, sir.
[09:54] ---
    But the Fifth Pillar has been
    taken away by the Evangelist's men.
[09:58] ---
    I am terribly sorry.
[10:01] ---
    Haumea said that there were
    eight people who possessed Adolla Bursts.
[10:08] ---
    Eight Pillars... plus the Evangelist.
[10:13] ---
    We don't know a thing.
[10:16] ---
    We have too little information, and we
    don't know what their whole objective is.
[10:22] ---
    As long as we're in the dark,
[10:23] ---
    we'll always be behind the curve,
    just like we always have been.
[10:27] ---
    I'd like to investigate more,
    to find out exactly what they're after.
[10:32] ---
    You're right. We need to find
    some clues about Adolla Bursts.
[10:37] ---
    It's becoming clear what we need to do.
[10:39] ---
    Also, Arthur and Shinra,
    you both did a good job out there today.
[10:46] ---
    Good, doesn't look like
    there are any problems.
[10:49] ---
    Guys! We're ready! Hop on in!
[10:53] ---
    Yeah, all right!
[10:59] ---
    Thank you!
[11:02] ---
    --Thank you!
    --Thank you very much!
[11:04] ---
    --Thanks for your hard work!
    --We're all safe now, thanks to you!
[11:06] ---
    Thank you so much!
[11:08] ---
    --Thank you!
    --You saved us!
[11:13] ---
    Captain Hague from the 4th said that
    he thought he'd saved so many people,
[11:20] ---
    but in fact, there were so many lives
    that he couldn't save.
[11:27] ---
    And I was so pleased, too,
[11:30] ---
    the first time I heard their praise...
[11:40] ---
    Even if there had been no Evangelist,
[11:43] ---
    could I have saved Inca, in any real sense?
[11:56] ---
    "Special Fire Station 4"
[12:00] ---
    Reporting in, sir. The casualties
    from yesterday's fire...
[12:03] ---
    ...were 19 dead, 58 injured.
[12:07] ---
    We counted 134 buildings lost to the fire.
[12:10] ---
    Also, the number of Infernals
    that were put to rest came to 39.
[12:18] ---
    I'm glad the casualties were
    kept as low as they were,
[12:20] ---
    compared to the Great Fire two years ago.
[12:24] ---
    Still, it pains me that the 4th's assistance
    came as slow as it did.
[12:32] ---
    "Special Fire Grand Cathedral 1"
[12:33] ---
    I understand that the 8th is
    already taking anti-Evangelist action.
[12:38] ---
    That sounds like Obi, all right.
[12:40] ---
    Unlike the 1st, with our Holy Sol Temple
    discipline tying our hands,
[12:44] ---
    they don't seem to have
    any hardheaded cardinals over there.
[12:49] ---
    I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
[12:55] ---
    Is the 1st going to work with them?
[12:58] ---
    Karim appears to have been
    sneaking over to the 8th already,
[13:01] ---
    and Tamaki is there, too,
    under the pretext of being suspended.
[13:04] ---
    I don't think we can do any more.
[13:08] ---
    Were all of the fires the other day
    started by artificial means?
[13:13] ---
    Yeah. The same group responsible
    for your arm and Rekka.
[13:20] ---
    I didn't get to pay them back for that.
[13:24] ---
    My right arm is like a trial
    bestowed upon me by God.
[13:28] ---
    So don't get too worked up.
    Even without my right arm,
[13:32] ---
    I don't have any trouble doing things,
    except for tenting my hands.
[13:36] ---
    Besides...
[13:38] ---
    Return to the great flame of fire.
[13:40] ---
    --Látom.
    --Látom.
[13:42] ---
    ...you're here to help me with that.
[13:44] ---
    Don't make me do that!
[13:45] ---
    I already feel responsible!
[13:47] ---
    "Special Fire Base 2"
[13:47] ---
    Oh! It's burning! It's burning!
[13:50] ---
    Captain Honda, are you saying that
    arrangements for the imperial garrison
[13:54] ---
    are being provided by the 2nd?
[13:56] ---
    It will make things easier for
    the 2nd to make the arrangements,
[13:59] ---
    given our close ties with the military.
[14:01] ---
    "Takeru"
[14:01] ---
    Besides, we have a rookie here
    who's from the peninsula.
[14:05] ---
    Have him help them out.
[14:27] ---
    Whoo, I haven't performed
    ablutions in a long time.
[14:30] ---
    You're doing well.
[14:31] ---
    Oh, no, you are.
[14:33] ---
    You're the only sister here at the 8th, Iris.
[14:37] ---
    There's no telling when you'll
    need another sister again,
[14:40] ---
    so I need to keep myself pure at all times,
    so I can be of help to the 8th.
[14:46] ---
    Nya!
[14:49] ---
    Whoa, I can see right through that.
[14:52] ---
    Nya! Screw you!
[14:56] ---
    Látom.
[14:57] ---
    Not at all.
[15:00] ---
    So you're going?
[15:02] ---
    Mm-hmm. I'm going to go
    see it with my own eyes.
[15:05] ---
    But wow, am I ever busy. I'm at a loss
    as to what I should take with me.
[15:12] ---
    I'd like to go with you,
    but the checkpoints are pretty strict.
[15:17] ---
    You should have become a Fire Soldier, Joker.
[15:25] ---
    Not a bad idea.
[15:28] ---
    I worked with Captain Hibana of the 5th,
    and we made an educated guess.
[15:32] ---
    I'm actually going to go there
    and see for myself.
[15:38] ---
    I turned over my data.
[15:41] ---
    I do hope they find some
    lead on Adolla Bursts,
[15:45] ---
    but as a scientist,
    I'd like to go along with them.
[15:48] ---
    I hate that in my position
    as captain, I can't do so.
[15:55] ---
    We're going to be carrying out
    a joint operation with the other companies.
[16:01] ---
    The 8th will be sending four of its crewmen.
[16:04] ---
    That will be you four.
[16:06] ---
    A joint operation? What are we doing?
[16:09] ---
    I need you to conduct an investigation
    into the Evangelist and Adolla Bursts.
[16:13] ---
    The White-Clad are gathering
    what they call the Eight Pillars,
[16:16] ---
    who each carry an Adolla Burst.
[16:19] ---
    There are those, like Shinra and his brother,
    who are already known,
[16:26] ---
    but, like Inca the other day,
[16:28] ---
    it is also conceivable that
    new ones will come about.
[16:31] ---
    Currently, we have identified four
    of them--Shinra, Sho, Inca, and Haumea.
[16:38] ---
    The purpose for the Evangelist's people
[16:40] ---
    to gather the Eight Pillars
    and their Adolla Bursts...
[16:44] ---
    ...is to once again trigger the
    Great Cataclysm from 250 years ago.
[17:00] ---
    It was a disaster whose effects were so great,
    they ended up redrawing the world's maps.
[17:05] ---
    I don't know why they want
    to have that happen again,
[17:08] ---
    but we have to prevent it, whatever it takes.
[17:11] ---
    There's too much we don't know
    about what happened
[17:14] ---
    during the Great Cataclysm of the past.
[17:16] ---
    The way things stand,
    we are always a step behind
[17:19] ---
    when it comes to safeguarding
    Adolla-Burst-bearing Pillars.
[17:21] ---
    Which is why we are forming a research team
[17:23] ---
    and investigating the
    Great Cataclysm of the past.
[17:27] ---
    Incidentally, I've already narrowed down
    the point we're investigating.
[17:32] ---
    Where are we going, sir?
[17:34] ---
    To a place of yet-unknown terrain,
    and an unknown ecology.
[17:39] ---
    A place that's seriously unknown.
[17:45] ---
    That place is the Chinese Peninsula!
[17:48] ---
    Outside the Tokyo Empire.
[17:50] ---
    "Operation Chinese Landing"
[17:57] ---
    The sea!
[18:01] ---
    We're about to leave Tokyo!
    I wonder what the outside world is like.
[18:18] ---
    We're going to go aboard that
    and cross the ocean!
[18:21] ---
    Kusakabe! Fall in!
[18:24] ---
    Sorry, sorry!
[18:28] ---
    Is everyone here? I'm taking roll call.

    "Purt Co Pan"
[18:38] ---
    The seven of us will be
    carrying out this mission.
[18:42] ---
    As you know, the purpose
    of this investigation
[18:44] ---
    is to find clues about
    the Evangelist and Adolla Bursts.
[18:49] ---
    And then, when we do,
    we, the Special Fire Force, will...
[18:56] ---
    No, you have to say
    the important part out loud, sir.
[19:00] ---
    All right, take care.
[19:02] ---
    Most of them are former students of mine
    from the Training Academy,
[19:06] ---
    so there won't be any problems.
[19:10] ---
    Crewman Kotatsu...
[19:12] ---
    Juggernaut, your family lives
    on the Chinese Peninsula, right?
[19:16] ---
    Mm-hmm. I come from
    one of the potato farms there.
[19:20] ---
    That's why I was assigned to be the guide.
[19:23] ---
    But I've never been to the area
    where our destination is,
[19:27] ---
    so honestly, I'm not too sure about this.
[19:29] ---
    You'll do fine. We're counting on you.
[19:34] ---
    So this is what it's like inside.
[19:37] ---
    Huh? These are our potatoes!
[19:38] ---
    "Noto Farms Potatoes"
[19:40] ---
    You can grow potatoes even in a wasteland?
[19:44] ---
    Mm-hmm, that's right.
[19:46] ---
    Potatoes are plants than can produce
    a high yield even in harsh soil.
[19:50] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[19:51] ---
    The green skin and buds have solanine
    and chaconine, which are poisonous,
[19:55] ---
    so you need to watch out for those,
[19:57] ---
    but they're rich in nutrients
    and vitamin C, your B-complexes,
[19:59] ---
    --Peek...
    --potassium and dietary fiber,
    so they're very healthy!
[20:03] ---
    You don't say...
[20:04] ---
    You can get about 15 grams of the starch
    that potato starch is made from
[20:07] ---
    out of around 100 grams of potatoes.
[20:09] ---
    If you're counting calories,
    it's only 76 of those.
[20:11] ---
    You can burn that off
    with 30 minutes of walking.
[20:13] ---
    Also, the potato plant's
    flowers are really pretty.
[20:16] ---
    --They can be white, or light purple,
    --Sneak, sneak, sneak...
[20:18] ---
    --and just looking at them can
    make you really happy, you know?
    --Sneak, sneak, sneak...
[20:20] ---
    Sure can.
[20:21] ---
    Oh, and another thing,
    did you know that potatoes are actually--
[20:24] ---
    You startled me!
[20:26] ---
    What are you doing down here?
    We're about to shove off.
[20:29] ---
    They said we were free to use
    the ship's cabins until we arrive.
[20:32] ---
    Sensei will--I mean, I will go
    pay my respects to the captain.
[20:37] ---
    Go inform the others.
[20:39] ---
    --Roger.
    --Roger.
[20:42] ---
    Do you think we can go up on deck?
[20:44] ---
    It's under Imperial Armed Forces control,
[20:46] ---
    so if we scamper around too much,
    we might make nuisances of ourselves,
[20:51] ---
    but let's head up there once we depart.
[21:09] ---
    Make sure you do what
    Lieutenant Pan tells you to do!
[21:13] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[21:15] ---
    --Here we go!
    --Here we go!
[21:26] ---
    We're about to go outside of Tokyo!
[21:42] ---
    Whoa, awesome! We're surrounded by ocean!
[21:47] ---
    What's that?
[21:49] ---
    An undersea volcano, I'll bet.
[21:51] ---
    An undersea volcano?
[21:55] ---
    It must have been formed in
    the Great Cataclysm 250 years ago.
[22:00] ---
    The Great Cataclysm...

    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:16] ---
    ...is death by fire.
[00:27] ---
    Whoa, wicked! We can see it now!
[00:30] ---
    Awesome!
[00:31] ---
    Wow!
[00:32] ---
    So that land is Avalon, is it?
[00:34] ---
    It's more like the empire
    than I thought. Pretty idyllic, isn't it?
[00:38] ---
    This brings back memories.
[00:52] ---
    Oh yeah! I'm first!
[00:54] ---
    --Yeah! We reached the new continent!
    --Yeah! We reached the new continent!
[00:58] ---
    We're still on the dock;
    we haven't reached the home soil yet!
[01:00] ---
    --Find some home soil!
    --Find some home soil!
[01:02] ---
    --Oh!
    --It's soil!

    Whoa, this is the soil of
    another nation! Eat it, eat it!

    Mm, yum.
[01:08] ---
    Bleah! No it isn't! We can't eat this!
[01:11] ---
    You guys are too hyped up.
[01:13] ---
    Lieutenant Pan...
[01:15] ---
    Yeah, this reminds me
    of the training academy.
[01:17] ---
    What kind of training academy?!
[01:19] ---
    "Knight King was here"
[01:22] ---
    I'm going to the post to draw supplies.
[01:24] ---
    I know we don't often get to go out of

[01:28] ---

    until the supplies are ready?
[01:52] ---
    Huh? Ya shore 'bout that?
[01:54] ---
    Thank ya mightily!
[01:59] ---
    Takeru, ya done gone at
    gotten even bigger, aint'cha?
[02:02] ---
    Huh, ya reckon? Ma, is Pa still doin' okay?
[02:08] ---
    Takeru, don'tcha go worryin' 'bout us none.
[02:12] ---
    S'long's ya go to Tokyo,
    fetch yerself a purdy bride,
[02:15] ---
    and come on back home to us...
[02:18] ---
    What's wrong, Ma? Ya look
    like ya got the blues.
[02:21] ---
    Oh, do I? Takeru, ya got'cher self
    a mission, ain'tcha?
[02:27] ---
    Never you fret.
[02:28] ---
    Is somethin' the matter?
[02:30] ---
    Y'all kin tell me!
[02:33] ---
    Huh? Someone's done tore up the fields?
[02:36] ---
    Yeah, just a mite.
[02:38] ---
    But folks in the village
    ain't got no reason to do this.
[02:42] ---
    Who in tarnation'd do this?
[02:46] ---
    Thank you very much.
[02:49] ---
    Where are you headed to?
[02:50] ---
    Someplace farther west.
[02:53] ---
    I think we're headed toward a spatial rift.
[02:54] ---
    "Destination"
[02:56] ---
    Watch out for bandits on the road.
    Also, once you leave here,
[03:00] ---
    there's a strange gas in the air.
[03:02] ---
    Gas?
[03:03] ---
    This is the place where
    we're heading to, right?
[03:07] ---
    How come the whole continent
    seems to be shifted here?
[03:11] ---
    Juggernaut, lead the way.
[03:13] ---
    Oh, yes, sir!
[03:15] ---
    Sorry, Ma and Pa. Gotta go do muh mission.
[03:19] ---
    Ain't no time to hunt down
    the rascal's been wreckin' the fields.
[03:22] ---
    Never ya mind. Takeru, you just
    go 'bout doin' what ya gotta be doin'.
[03:27] ---
    Do a proper job, now,
    so's yer not draggin' the others down.
[03:30] ---
    Mm-hmm, you betcha!
[03:32] ---
    I'm a Fire Soldier, y'know.
[03:36] ---
    We're heading out!
[03:38] ---
    Next time ya come home,
    bring back a purdy bride with ya.
[03:42] ---
    A-A bride?
[03:44] ---
    Here we go. Let's uncover
    the Evangelist's secrets!
[03:48] ---
    Okay then, please excuse us!
[03:51] ---
    Y'all take care, now!
[03:53] ---
    We'll be back later!
[05:26] ---
    "Episode 7:
    Road to the Oasis"
[05:34] ---
    I told them to wear gas masks.
[05:37] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Yeah!
[05:38] ---
    Hell yeah!
[05:40] ---
    --Ho yeah!
    --Ho yeah!
[05:45] ---
    I mean, I did tell them.
[05:47] ---
    That there's a gas prevalent around here
[05:49] ---
    that is fast-acting and
    acts like a stimulant.
[05:52] ---
    --Hell yeah!
    --Hell yeah!
[05:54] ---
    You go, Juggernaut!
[05:56] ---
    Ho! Ho! Ho!
[05:58] ---
    Hello? Mama? I'm not coming home tonight!
[06:03] ---
    Huh? Where am I staying?
    There's no way I'm telling you!
[06:07] ---
    I mean, I'm on the Chinese Peninsula!
    This phone call's not getting through!
[06:12] ---
    Woo-hoo! It's hot! If it's gonna be hot,
    I'm gonna dance!
[06:16] ---
    I clear my mind of
    mundane thoughts, and I am cool.
[06:20] ---
    Oh, hostile rocks sighted!
[06:23] ---
    Preparing to intercept! Set!
[06:25] ---
    Whirr! Clank!
[06:27] ---
    Click! Fire!
[06:32] ---
    Hostiles obliterated!
[06:33] ---
    Yay!
[06:35] ---
    It must be those underground gases
    coming from those cracks in the surface.
[06:40] ---
    Lieutenant Pan, do you
    know what our mission is?
[06:44] ---
    To find the cause of the
    Great Cataclysm 200 years ago
[06:49] ---
    and anything to do with Adolla Bursts
    around that spatial rift, duh!
[06:54] ---
    At least we're still clear about that much.
[06:56] ---
    Of course we are.
[06:59] ---
    Hey, you kids! Knock off that
    stupid horsing around and behave!
[07:04] ---
    --Yes, Sensei.
    --Yes, Sensei.
[07:06] ---
    Where are we heading right now?
[07:09] ---
    To a location northwest of here.
[07:11] ---
    We're heading to a place that
    measures high in Adolla Bursts.
[07:15] ---
    It will take a while to get there,
[07:16] ---
    so please don't use up
    your energy goofing around.
[07:20] ---
    I hope we get there soon.
[07:26] ---
    We might find some intelligence
    connected to the Evangelist,
[07:29] ---
    and how it relates to the 250-year-old
    Great Cataclysm and Adolla Bursts.
[07:35] ---
    Whoa, crap, what's that?
[07:38] ---
    It's like that rock has been
    watching us this whole time.
[07:41] ---
    Tamaki, you freaked out?
[07:43] ---
    No, I'm not!
[07:45] ---
    It's too regular to have been
    created by weathering.
[07:48] ---
    No simple natural phenomenon
    would make that happen.
[07:52] ---
    Could the Adolla Bursts created by
    the Great Cataclysm have affected it?
[07:56] ---
    Wow, the turn of the century is terrifying!
[07:59] ---
    I cleared my mind of
    mundane thoughts, and now I'm cold.
[08:01] ---
    Put a sock in it. There's still some time
    before we get there, so go to sleep.
[08:08] ---
    H-Help me!
[08:11] ---
    What? I heard a voice coming from outside!
[08:15] ---
    Huh?!
[08:22] ---
    Wh-What the--? Are you kidding me?!
    Am I tripping on gas and seeing things?!
[08:28] ---
    No, I'm stone cold sober, and I saw it, too.
[08:31] ---
    Then, that voice I heard
    asking for help came from that huge thing?
[08:36] ---
    No! It was me!
[08:39] ---
    Are you guys from the
    Xinqing Dao base? Save me!
[08:44] ---
    Whew, that was close. That's what happens
    when you raid Giant Worm turf.
[08:50] ---
    Hey, who said you could hop on?!
    You're one that thing is after!
[08:53] ---
    Don't drag us into the middle of this!
[08:55] ---
    Uh, wait, Ogun...
[09:00] ---
    --That mole just talked!
    --That mole just talked!
[09:04] ---
    You abominable infernal familiar!
    I'll feed you right to that earthworm!
[09:08] ---
    Whoa! S-Stop!
[09:12] ---
    A potato?!
[09:14] ---
    Judging by the feel, size, and smell...
[09:18] ---
    ...there's no doubt about it.
    This is one of our potatoes!
[09:22] ---
    Are you the one who ruined
    my family's field?!
[09:24] ---
    S-Spare me! This is your first time
    in the area, right? I know it well!
[09:29] ---
    If you'll let me, I'll get you
    to your destination safely!
[09:32] ---
    That is a whole different matter!
[09:35] ---
    Pan-sensei, here it comes!
[09:37] ---
    Watch my driving technique!
[09:41] ---
    Sorry, this is too much!
    Shinra, Ogun, do something!
[09:45] ---
    Let's go, Ogun!
[09:46] ---
    Just as I was getting bored, too!
[09:50] ---
    Yoruba Spear!
[09:57] ---
    Ogun, I'm gonna draw the earthworm away!
[10:00] ---
    Yoruba Forge!
[10:02] ---
    "Yoruba Forge"
[10:05] ---
    Over here, you earthworm bastard!
[10:08] ---
    This area is Giant Worm territory!
[10:11] ---
    If don't move around carefully,
    you'll get two or three of them attacking!
[10:14] ---
    For that matter, where are you guys headed?
[10:16] ---
    We're headed for a spatial rift.
[10:19] ---
    Rift? Oh, I know that area well.
[10:23] ---
    You know it?
[10:24] ---
    Do I know it? That's where I--
[10:29] ---
    That's where you guys are headed?
[10:31] ---
    I anticipated a harsh environment here,
    because of the Adolla Bursts,
[10:36] ---
    but apparently, it's also a place where
    animals speak our language, too.
[10:40] ---
    That was an oasis for all of us.
[10:45] ---
    If they hadn't have come there,
[10:48] ---
    I wouldn't have had to steal these potatoes.
[10:51] ---
    If you guys are going there, then so am I.
    I want to take back the Oasis!
[10:57] ---
    Monster earthworm,
    you'll have to face Shinra-Man!
[11:06] ---
    Hey, over here, you earthworm bastard!
[11:10] ---
    Hey, hey, hey!
[11:13] ---
    Whoa!
[11:23] ---
    We've gotten the earthworm
    pretty far away from the others, huh?
[11:26] ---
    Our diversion is a success!
[11:32] ---
    It looks like the earthworm is giving up.
[11:35] ---
    Nicely done. Get back here!
[11:42] ---
    Now that we're here, we can relax.
[11:45] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[11:47] ---
    He's a dirty potato-thieving mole!
[11:51] ---
    What do you have to say for yourself?
[11:55] ---
    I'm here from the Oasis further to the west.
[12:00] ---
    Unlike this wilderness, it has both
    plant life and water. A true paradise.
[12:06] ---
    An oasis in a wasteland like this?
[12:09] ---
    I find that hard to believe.
[12:11] ---
    I had lots of friends there,
    but they were all driven out of the Oasis.
[12:20] ---
    Huh?
[12:21] ---
    There are crows in this land, huh?
[12:23] ---
    Ah, is that...?
[12:25] ---
    Hey, Yata!
[12:27] ---
    Hmm? You guys wait here.
[12:32] ---
    Hey, Scop, who are these guys?
[12:35] ---
    That crow is one of my
    friends from the Oasis.
[12:38] ---
    You're soldiers from Xinqing Dao?
    We don't see you this far inland too often.
[12:44] ---
    I went to borrow some potatoes
    from there and got caught.
[12:47] ---
    What are you, dense?
[12:49] ---
    Stay underground the rest of
    your life rather than get caught!
[12:51] ---
    First a talking mole, now a talking crow.
[12:55] ---
    Hey, we're Fire Soldiers!
[12:57] ---
    Fire Soldiers?
[12:59] ---
    What are your kind doing
    all the way out here?
[13:02] ---
    We're here on an investigation.
[13:03] ---
    We can sort this out later.
    We're camping here for the night.
[13:07] ---
    While we won't have any
    trouble making a fire,
[13:09] ---
    it will be a pain if we wait until it's dark.
[13:17] ---
    Hmm-hmm, toasted marshmallows!
[13:21] ---
    You say you're going to the Oasis
    to investigate Adolla Bursts?
[13:25] ---
    That's what we're doing, all right.
[13:27] ---
    Is the fact that you can speak
    in our language due to Adolla, too?
[13:31] ---
    Huh? No idea. Most, like the guys
    behind us, can't speak.
[13:36] ---
    How about you tell us more
    about yourselves now?
[13:39] ---
    You said you were driven out of the Oasis?
[13:42] ---
    Yeah.
[13:44] ---
    One day, a mysterious group just showed up.
[13:47] ---
    Without a word, they started attacking
    those of us who lived at the Oasis.
[13:54] ---
    We've been chased out
    of the Oasis ever since.
[13:57] ---
    Which is why you ran out of food,
    and went to steal those potatoes.
[14:01] ---
    So that's what happened.
[14:03] ---
    My head had gone from
    vole-like to vociferous!
[14:05] ---
    "Vole-like"
[14:06] ---
    "Vociferous"
[14:09] ---
    It sure gets dark without
    any city lights, huh?
[14:13] ---
    Yeah.
[14:15] ---
    Hmm? Hey, look at that.
[14:19] ---
    What are those lights?
[14:20] ---
    Yeah, you're right. It was too bright
    during the day to see them.
[14:24] ---
    Over here, too. They're all over the place.
[14:29] ---
    Awesome. This is so pretty.
    Like stars scattered across the ground.
[14:35] ---
    What are they, though?
[14:41] ---
    I-Infernals?
[14:44] ---
    Y-You mean, all of them?
[14:47] ---
    You can see those? I can't see them at all
    with my night blindness.
[14:51] ---
    You have sharp eyes.
[14:54] ---
    Those are Infernals, just like you said.
[14:58] ---
    Some have been wandering around
    since the Great Cataclysm 250 years ago.
[15:02] ---
    Infernals don't die until they're put to rest.
    I'd heard that before, but...
[15:08] ---
    We need to hurry and put them to rest.
[15:11] ---
    What, just us?
[15:13] ---
    Forget it. There's too many of them.
[15:15] ---
    I've heard the stories.
    Over on your island across the sea,
[15:19] ---
    you kill your Infernals, right?
[15:21] ---
    Kill-- Well, yeah.
[15:24] ---
    Also the ground is unstable down there.
[15:27] ---
    If you're careless, it'll crumble beneath you,
    and you'll go face down into lava.
[15:31] ---
    Give it up.
[15:34] ---
    What's the deal with you guys, anyway?
[15:36] ---
    Beats me. I don't know.
[15:39] ---
    We never thought twice about what we were
[15:42] ---
    until you humans came along
    and considered us unusual.
[15:52] ---
    Those are all Infernals...
[15:57] ---
    And it's not just those people, either.
[15:59] ---
    There are other Infernals
    still burning throughout the world.
[16:04] ---
    For their sake as well,
[16:07] ---
    we have to find out the truth about
    the Great Cataclysm and Adolla Bursts.
[16:11] ---
    I'm going to go get Tamaki.
    She can at least say a prayer for them.
[16:25] ---
    The Oasis is just up ahead.
[16:27] ---
    It's been an uneventful trip,
    thanks to my navigation, right?
[16:30] ---
    Do you trust me a little more now?
[16:33] ---
    Trust hell. There's too much about
    this area we just don't know about.
[16:38] ---
    We'll take any help we can get,
    moles and crows included.
[16:42] ---
    Once you climb up that rock,
    you can see the whole Oasis.
[16:45] ---
    Aw...
[16:47] ---
    We have to climb this?
[16:48] ---
    Yeah, there's no way.
[16:50] ---
    I'm going on ahead to see
    what the situation is.
[16:53] ---
    I'll go on ahead, too, sir.
[16:54] ---
    Be careful.
[16:57] ---
    Okay, let's go.
[16:58] ---
    You're a human, and you can fly?
[17:01] ---
    Hey, you with all the hair and the mask,
[17:03] ---
    you don't have to worry about
    the gas here, thanks to the Oasis.
[17:07] ---
    Really?
[17:10] ---
    You're right. Doesn't
    seem to be an issue, huh?
[17:13] ---
    --I'll bet you that we could
    grow some great potatoes here.
[17:16] ---
    --Again with the potatoes?
    --I'll bet you that we could
    grow some great potatoes here.
[17:18] ---
    The breeze is pretty gentle around here.
[17:21] ---
    Fly quietly, now.
[17:22] ---
    Got it.
[17:24] ---
    We'll look from behind here.
    Be sure to stay low.
[17:31] ---
    This area is the only one with plant life...
[17:35] ---
    It is all thanks to the Tabernacle.
[17:37] ---
    The Tabernacle?
[17:38] ---
    You can see it over there, right?
[17:40] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:43] ---
    --What's that doing here?!
    --You idiot! Stay low!
[17:46] ---
    You know about the Tabernacle?
[17:49] ---
    Do I know about it?
    That's the keystone of the Tokyo Empire...
[17:55] ---
    ...Amaterasu, isn't it?
    What is it doing here?
[18:01] ---
    There's no way I'd mistake that.
[18:02] ---
    Hey, you'll draw attention! Crouch down!
[18:06] ---
    That's something Vulcan's ancestors
    were supposed to have built.
[18:10] ---
    Shinra-kun is right.
[18:12] ---
    It's a little bit smaller,
    but that's Amaterasu.
[18:15] ---
    Is it really Amaterasu?
[18:17] ---
    Even if it isn't,
[18:19] ---
    the fact that something identical to it
    exists here is strange enough itself.
[18:22] ---
    We'll need to get down there
    and start investigating.
[18:24] ---
    The Tabernacle is at the center of the Oasis.
    I'll show you the way. Follow me.
[18:34] ---
    There are man-made items here and there, huh?
[18:37] ---
    Yeah. Over there, too.
[18:39] ---
    There are a lot of things here from
    the time before the Great Cataclysm.
[18:43] ---
    These trees look perfectly healthy.
[18:46] ---
    The Tabernacle is up ahead to the northwest.
[18:49] ---
    Hey, if the Tabernacle
    is the same as Amaterasu,
[18:52] ---
    it means that the Tabernacle's energy source
    is an Adolla Burst, right?
[18:56] ---
    Is the Adolla Burst the reason why
    all this nature has returned here?
[19:00] ---
    Weren't Vulcan's ancestors the ones
    who built Amaterasu in the first place?
[19:04] ---
    History says that the Holy Sol Temple
    and Vulcan-kun's ancestors built it,
[19:08] ---
    but depending on whether
    Tokyo's Amaterasu or this Tabernacle
[19:11] ---
    was the first one built, that could change.
[19:14] ---
    So there's a chance
    the one in Tokyo came second.
[19:17] ---
    Either way,
[19:19] ---
    if this much of nature has been reborn
    through the power of an Adolla Burst,
[19:22] ---
    it means that they will be useful
    in reviving the world, right?
[19:26] ---
    Adolla Bursts really are
    unsullied, sacred flames.
[19:30] ---
    Or, on the other hand, they could be
    the cause of the world's destruction.
[19:36] ---
    We're getting close to
    the center of the Oasis.
[19:41] ---
    Hold up!
[19:42] ---
    Look! We've arrived at a pillar.
    These pillars surround the Tabernacle.
[19:48] ---
    Then, we're almost there!
[19:50] ---
    "Tabernacle"
    "Pillar" "Pillar"
[19:50] ---
    But the area ahead is
    also the bandits' territory.
[19:54] ---
    Since our objective here is to investigate,
[19:56] ---
    we'd like to avoid fighting if we can.
[19:58] ---
    You can't possibly fight against this bunch!
[20:00] ---
    He's right.
[20:01] ---
    There's no reasoning with them.
[20:06] ---
    Lieutenant Pan, we could be closing in
[20:09] ---
    on the very core of the mystery
    behind human combustion.
[20:12] ---
    Even if Scop is right,
    and we can't negotiate with this group,
[20:17] ---
    we need to investigate,
    even if it means by force.
[20:20] ---
    Yeah! Yeah! You go, hero!
[20:22] ---
    That's outside the scope of our mission.
[20:24] ---
    We can't just rush in and
    start fighting outside parties.
[20:29] ---
    I won't let anyone stand in the way
    of investigating the Great Cataclysm.
[20:32] ---
    Are you starting again?
[20:33] ---
    We can't just turn around
    after coming this far!
[20:36] ---
    I agree with Kusakabe, sir.
[20:38] ---
    Of course we aren't going to.
    But we are Fire Soldiers, not the military.
[20:43] ---
    Combat will always be our last option.
[20:45] ---
    We'll settle this by
    peaceful negotiation if we can.
[20:48] ---
    Just a minute! I led you all the way here,
    right? Take our Oasis back for us!
[20:53] ---
    Not until we speak with them
    and see how they respond.
[20:55] ---
    "Aaah"
[20:55] ---
    I already told you,
    there's no reasoning with them!
[20:58] ---
    I'm begging you, help us!
[21:02] ---
    Ee-yow!
[21:05] ---
    Infernal dogs?
[21:06] ---
    What do you mean, "Infernal dogs"?
    Those are Hell Hounds!
[21:09] ---
    Fine, whichever! Run!
[21:10] ---
    I told you, there's no reasoning with them!
[21:13] ---
    No, not if they're dogs!
[21:15] ---
    Get up in the trees!
[21:16] ---
    Wah! I'm scared! Help me! Someone help me!
[21:19] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
    May thy soul return to the great flame of fire.
[21:27] ---
    Látom.
[21:30] ---
    Freeing dogs from the flames
    is the job of Fire Soldiers,
[21:34] ---
    the same as it is for people, right?
[21:36] ---
    Tamaki...
[21:38] ---
    If they were dogs, you should have
    said so from the start.
[21:41] ---
    Like there's any humans around here.
[21:46] ---
    My friends were killed by those dogs.
[21:50] ---
    Sure, we fought back! It's just...
[21:54] ---
    It's just what?
[21:55] ---
    Their boss is even worse, and there was
    nothing we could do about that one!
[22:02] ---
    Protect the forest.
[22:05] ---
    Is that... an Adolla Link?
[22:11] ---
    Protect...
[22:12] ---
    Where is it coming from?
[22:14] ---
    ...the forest.
[22:17] ---
    Protect the forest.

    The Tabernacle lies in

[24:03] ---
    It is a cherished location that was once

[24:08] ---
    Why was something so cherished

[00:03] ---
    Protect the forest.
[00:06] ---
    Shinra-kun, are you okay?
[00:10] ---
    Judging by your behavior,
    has it happened again?
[00:13] ---
    Yes. There was a voice.
[00:15] ---
    Protect the forest.
[00:19] ---
    It said, "Protect the forest."
[00:22] ---
    A voice? So it really is an Adolla Link?
[00:25] ---
    Does the voice belong to
    the leader of the bandits?
[00:27] ---
    Well, I don't know exactly what it is.
[00:31] ---
    I heard it coming from the direction
    of the Tabernacle, though.
[00:35] ---
    Don't tell me...
[00:37] ---
    ...it was coming from in there...
[00:53] ---
    Everything I've had, I've lost,
[00:56] ---
    but I won't let go of this remaining spark
[01:00] ---
    No, I won't let it go, not ever
[01:04] ---
    Though there may be no right answers
    in my ill-defined tale,
[01:09] ---
    once I'm able to step forward...
[01:14] ---
    They say something's wrong with me,
    but I'll do something with them
[01:19] ---
    I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be
[01:24] ---
    But if my dreams have
    resolved themselves to be by your side
[01:30] ---
    then there's nothing left
    for me to doubt anymore
[01:35] ---
    Sparks fly as things kick off
[01:38] ---
    until "black and white" turns to ashen gray
[01:40] ---
    If there's a choice crown to be had
[01:43] ---
    I want it, I want it
[01:46] ---
    I'll whizz my way toward you
[01:48] ---
    until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out
[01:51] ---
    If the clowns are melancholy
[01:54] ---
    then nothing will get anywhere
[01:57] ---
    I'll show you a love that
    burns hot enough to scorch ashes
[02:02] ---
    I just spark again
[02:10] ---
    "Episode 8:
    Smoldering Malevolence"
[02:15] ---
    If you heard it coming from the Tabernacle,
[02:18] ---
    does that mean that it uses
    an Adolla Burst, too?
[02:22] ---
    Then again, the Tabernacle
    is an inorganic object.
[02:25] ---
    Can it even perform a Link?
[02:28] ---
    There, you see?
[02:30] ---
    Those guys attack us unprovoked.
    There's no talking to them!
[02:36] ---
    Scop...
[02:37] ---
    ...tell me more about the Tabernacle.
    How long has it been there?
[02:42] ---
    The Tabernacle is something
    that was here before us,
[02:45] ---
    which our benefactor fixed.
[02:48] ---
    Benefactor?
[02:50] ---
    It was shortly after the Great Cataclysm
    devastated the world 250 years ago.
[02:55] ---
    One day, a lone traveler appeared.
[03:10] ---
    It was a human woman,
    wrapped in a robe of pitch black.
[03:16] ---
    This woman preached to us animals,
[03:18] ---
    who were just waiting for death in this
    wasteland, and taught us how to speak.
[03:23] ---
    Why have you come here, lady?
[03:27] ---
    I came from beyond the spatial rift
    to once again recreate this world.
[03:39] ---
    Now,
[03:40] ---
    you must be hungry, right?
[03:42] ---
    Warm yourselves with this flame.
[03:48] ---
    The flame that she produced was very warm,
[03:51] ---
    and we soon noticed that our hunger was gone,
[03:53] ---
    and our lives had been extended.
[04:03] ---
    But then, one day...
[04:22] ---
    ...she repaired the abandoned Tabernacle,
[04:24] ---
    and then disappeared.
[04:30] ---
    It is because of the Tabernacle
    that this Oasis came about,
[04:33] ---
    and we are still alive.
[04:35] ---
    Yeah.
[04:36] ---
    She is our benefactor.
    She may come back here someday.
[04:42] ---
    Until that time, we will
    keep the Tabernacle safe.
[04:45] ---
    Where did this woman go?
[04:48] ---
    No one has seen her since that day.
[04:51] ---
    Still, we cannot turn over to them
    the place where she will return!
[04:59] ---
    Protect the forest.
[05:02] ---
    The voice probably belongs to her.
[05:05] ---
    Yeah, it is possible.
[05:07] ---
    It's safe to say that the spot we singled out
    to investigate is the Tabernacle.
[05:13] ---
    What on earth is the story there?
[05:19] ---
    It's them!
[05:20] ---
    A person?
[05:21] ---
    A former person.
[05:28] ---
    There are Infernals here, too?!
[05:32] ---
    --Licht-san!
    --Help me!
    --It's a trap!
[05:33] ---
    Shinra, go help Inspector Licht!
[05:35] ---
    Yes, sir!
[05:38] ---
    Licht-san!
[05:44] ---
    He's dead!
[05:47] ---
    Licht-san!
[05:50] ---
    Oof...
[05:51] ---
    Are you all right?
[05:53] ---
    Huh? I thought I was dead.
[05:55] ---
    Thank goodness! Lieutenant Pan's
    defensive buff was in time.
[06:00] ---
    I don't even have a scratch.
[06:02] ---
    That's incredible.
[06:09] ---
    --He has friends.
    --This time we're dead for sure!
[06:15] ---
    Shinra, take Licht-san and get him back!
[06:17] ---
    R-Right.
[06:19] ---
    --The prayer!
    --Yeah!
[06:23] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
[06:25] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[06:28] ---
    Yoruba Spears!
[06:31] ---
    Excalibur!
[06:38] ---
    Látom.
[06:39] ---
    Stay away! I don't taste good!
[06:47] ---
    Damn, there are quite a few of them, huh?
[06:50] ---
    Grr... How dare you defile
    our friends and the Oasis!
[06:57] ---
    Give us back our Oasis!
[07:00] ---
    Give us back the Tabernacle!
[07:08] ---
    You guys okay?
[07:12] ---
    Hu... mans...
[07:16] ---
    Who... are you...?
[07:20] ---
    They can talk?!
[07:22] ---
    Well, if moles can talk, why not?
[07:27] ---
    Don't you even see us animals here?
[07:31] ---
    Hey! You can hear me, right?!
[07:35] ---
    We've seen an Infernal
    that can talk once before...
[07:40] ---
    Why won't you look at me?
[07:44] ---
    Stop... ignoring us animals!
[07:48] ---
    Get them.
[08:11] ---
    You guys need the creative energy
    of the Tabernacle?
[08:15] ---
    If so, won't you consider
    living in harmony with the animals?
[08:21] ---
    You say...
[08:22] ---
    ...that has the power of creation?
    Don't be ridiculous.
[08:29] ---
    That was built... in order
    to destroy the world.
[08:44] ---
    It is there... to destroy.
[08:48] ---
    --Destroy... Destroy... Destroy...
[08:50] ---
    --The Tabernacle is a weapon
    built to destroy the world?
    --Destroy... Destroy... Destroy...
[08:54] ---
    But Amaterasu in Tokyo isn't, right?
[08:57] ---
    No, it actually does make some sense.
[09:00] ---
    Dr. Giovani went to Vulcan's workshop
    to find the key to Amaterasu.
[09:06] ---
    The objective of Dr. Giovani
    and the rest of the Evangelist's men
[09:09] ---
    is to once again trigger a Great Cataclysm.
[09:12] ---
    I'm not sure what it is they're after,
[09:15] ---
    but they're out to destroy the world again.
[09:18] ---
    And in order to achieve that goal,
    they'll need Amaterasu, right?
[09:23] ---
    Then it's true that it really is
    a weapon of destruction?
[09:26] ---
    No!
[09:27] ---
    The Tabernacle that that woman
    created is no such thing!
[09:32] ---
    Just look at this forest!
    This is all because of the Tabernacle!
[09:38] ---
    Sure, she may have had a creepy face.
[09:41] ---
    She would smile this eerie, devilish smile.
[09:45] ---
    But when we were doomed to perish,
    she gave us language and life.
[09:50] ---
    She gave us the Oasis.
[09:53] ---
    Yeah, the voice I heard over the Adolla Link
    didn't sound like an evil one.
[09:58] ---
    I believe what Scop is telling us.
[10:02] ---
    Shinra...!
[10:05] ---
    We are not going to let these guys...
[10:07] ---
    ...use the Tabernacle
    as a weapon of destruction!
[10:13] ---
    The remaining tablets.
[10:16] ---
    You have gathered them all?
[10:21] ---
    Now we can initialize the
    weapon of destruction.
[10:23] ---
    Good! The day of our souls'
    release draws near!
[10:27] ---
    Let us face the time of our end together!
[10:31] ---
    At last, we will be freed from
    the suffering of these flames.
[10:35] ---
    Ah, Tempe-sama!
[10:38] ---
    Tempe-sama!
[10:39] ---
    We have human intruders!
[10:41] ---
    What did you say? Humans,
    all the way out here?
[10:45] ---
    All of you, the time has come
    for you to do one last labor for me!
[10:50] ---
    We will not allow anyone to interfere.
[10:53] ---
    I will only grant unto those
    who served me in this life
[10:57] ---
    repose and glory in the world after death!
[11:03] ---
    Labor, labor, labor, labor,
    kill those who stand in our way,
[11:08] ---
    and demonstrate your devotion to me.
[11:11] ---
    Labor for me, kneel down before me,
    and bow down your heads to me!
[11:17] ---
    That is the path to salvation!
[11:20] ---
    The only means of being released
    from these burning bodies!
[11:24] ---
    --For thee!
    --For thee!
[11:30] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire.
[11:33] ---
    Látom.
[11:37] ---
    Let's take a moment to
    sort out our situation.
[11:39] ---
    According to our investigation so far,
[11:41] ---
    they appear to want to use
    the Tabernacle to destroy the world.
[11:45] ---
    But, since they haven't actually
    executed their plan,
[11:48] ---
    it's possible that there is
    something else that they require.
[11:53] ---
    Scop, is there anything else
    you can tell us? Anything might help.
[11:58] ---
    Hmm... Let's see...
[12:02] ---
    Come to think of it, I saw them
    collecting those stone tablets.
[12:05] ---
    Oh, I saw that, too.
[12:07] ---
    Stone tablets?
[12:08] ---
    They have gathered a number of them, huh?
[12:11] ---
    They probably have quite
    a few of them by now.
[12:13] ---
    Are these tablets some sort of key
    that will activate the Tabernacle's power?
[12:17] ---
    Who knows? But I can tell you for sure
[12:21] ---
    that the Infernals' leader
    instructed them to collect the tablets.
[12:24] ---
    The guy has terrifying horns
    growing out of his head like this.
[12:28] ---
    Huh?!
[12:29] ---
    --He has horns?
    --There's a demon Infernal here?
[12:32] ---
    Demon?
[12:33] ---
    If there's a demon here,
    that changes things an awful lot.
[12:36] ---
    "Translation: Hmm..."
[12:38] ---
    What, are they that bad?
[12:40] ---
    I read the reports.
[12:42] ---
    It takes a ridiculous amount of
    firepower to put one to rest, right?
[12:45] ---
    It's impossible for us to
    put one to rest with our numbers.
[12:50] ---
    I guess all we can do now is turn back.
[12:53] ---
    If there's a demon here, it will be
    impossible to take control here.
[13:00] ---
    However, we can't ignore the fact that
    they're trying to trigger a Cataclysm
[13:03] ---
    by blowing up the Tabernacle.
[13:06] ---
    Licht-san, do you have any ideas
    about how to defeat this demon?
[13:10] ---
    Hmm, last time, it was a miracle
    that we got enough personnel together
[13:14] ---
    and all worked together
    to finally put that one to rest.
[13:19] ---
    In any event, it would take enough firepower
    to blow this whole forest away.
[13:23] ---
    What?! Nothing doing!
[13:25] ---
    Just a minute. I thought we were here
    to survey the Tabernacle, right?
[13:29] ---
    Why are we talking about
    putting this demon to rest?
[13:31] ---
    But we have to put a stop to their plans!
[13:34] ---
    Besides, even if we can't put him to rest,
    we can at least slow him down.
[13:38] ---
    We'll keep the demon occupied,
    and the rest of you can survey the Tabernacle.
[13:45] ---
    Disrupting things is my strong point.
[13:49] ---
    I'll lay out the mission.
[13:51] ---
    A team will go inside the Tabernacle,
[13:53] ---
    while Shinra and Ogun use their mobility
    to divert the demon's attention.
[13:58] ---
    Arthur, Tamaki, Juggernaut,
    you'll stand guard.
[14:01] ---
    --Yes, sir.
    --Yes, sir.
[14:02] ---
    Meanwhile, Inspector Licht and I
    will investigate the Tabernacle.
[14:06] ---
    You're sure you can't drive them off?
[14:08] ---
    We've already come this far.
[14:11] ---
    We'll put a stop to the Infernals' plans.
[14:14] ---
    But we can't defeat the demon.
    Defeating the demon is too hard.
[14:20] ---
    Don't worry, Scop.
[14:23] ---
    I'll take back the Oasis for you.
[14:25] ---
    Shinra...
[14:26] ---
    I'll also defeat that demon for you.
    I'm a hero, after all!
[14:33] ---
    A hero!
[14:42] ---
    There's the entrance to the Tabernacle.
[14:48] ---
    There's nobody around.
[14:50] ---
    All right, we're going in now, while we can.
[15:10] ---
    Well?
[15:11] ---
    We had a quick look around, but there's
    no sign of the demon or other Infernals.
[15:16] ---
    Things were quiet all the way
    into the inner chambers.
[15:18] ---
    They were? That works
    just fine for me. Change of plans.
[15:23] ---
    Shinra, Ogun, Tamaki, and Juggernaut,
    you stand guard outside.
[15:28] ---
    Arthur, you're with us,
    just in case anything happens in here.
[15:32] ---
    --Roger.
    --Roger.
[15:33] ---
    All right, split up.
[15:37] ---
    --Shh!
    --Shh!
[15:39] ---
    Idiot!
[15:40] ---
    Sorry, force of habit.
[15:49] ---
    The state of things inside
    is incredibly good.
[15:51] ---
    You wouldn't think this
    place was 250 years old.
[15:54] ---
    Of course, dummy. We've been
    keeping it clean this whole time.
[16:01] ---
    These must be the tablets you mentioned.
[16:03] ---
    What are these numbers?
[16:15] ---
    It's a trap?!
[16:24] ---
    Hey...
[16:28] ---
    They're behind us, too.
[16:30] ---
    We're surrounded.
[16:34] ---
    You fell for it. You must be
    the humans who are intruding.
[16:40] ---
    These Infernals set a trap for us?
    Do they really have that much intelligence?
[16:45] ---
    Shinra, over there!
[16:49] ---
    --Horns.
    --A demon.
[16:51] ---
    Wh-Wh-What do we do? We have to run!
[16:54] ---
    The lieutenant and the others are still inside!
    You want to leave them there?!
[16:57] ---
    You are barbarians, violating
    our sacred ground.
[17:01] ---
    The only thing we can do is buy some time.
[17:03] ---
    We can't let them inside, no matter what!
[17:06] ---
    Kill those who stand in our way!
[17:15] ---
    Why are they all coming after me?!
[17:20] ---
    This is our sacred ground!
    We will not allow all of you to violate it!
[17:25] ---
    Violate?
[17:29] ---
    This place was the animals' Oasis!
[17:32] ---
    You don't get to say anything
    when you encroached on this place first!
[17:36] ---
    Couldn't you have coexisted?!
[17:39] ---
    Coexist?
[17:42] ---
    What you call the Tabernacle
    is a weapon of destruction!
[17:45] ---
    There is no point in re-growing this forest!
[17:49] ---
    I will burn all of it down!
[17:57] ---
    Why are you trying to destroy everything?!
[18:00] ---
    So that I can go to Heaven!
[18:10] ---
    Ah! Don't ruin the forest!
[18:12] ---
    Sorry!
[18:13] ---
    So you can go to Heaven?
[18:15] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[18:17] ---
    For the 250 years since the Great Cataclysm,
[18:19] ---
    I have wandered, unable to die.
[18:23] ---
    I want to die!
[18:25] ---
    I need the firepower it would take
    to blow up the Tabernacle for me to die.
[18:31] ---
    And with a being such as myself dying,
[18:33] ---
    I will require those in Heaven
    who will look after my needs.
[18:36] ---
    Now, the aftershock from the explosion
    may also blow away your seaport,
[18:41] ---
    but I will let those who live there
    serve me in the afterlife as well.
[18:45] ---
    Oh, Tempe-sama!
[18:48] ---
    We will follow you anywhere!
[18:50] ---
    Will you join me in going to the afterlife?
[18:53] ---
    I can have you serve me
    in some position or other in the afterlife.
[18:56] ---
    Tempe-sama, all I can do is grow potatoes.
[18:59] ---
    You want to serve him?!
[19:01] ---
    You're trying to drag all of this
    down with you just so you can die?
[19:05] ---
    Screw you, man! You go ahead
    and die on your own!
[19:09] ---
    No, it's no easy matter for him to die.
[19:12] ---
    Huh?
[19:13] ---
    He's right. It's going to take at least
    as much firepower to kill a demon
[19:16] ---
    as it would take to blow
    up this whole forest.
[19:20] ---
    Oh, no... So you're saying
    we have to lose the forest?
[19:23] ---
    What do we do with a demon
    that we can't put to rest?
[19:26] ---
    There's nothing else we can do with him!
[19:29] ---
    We have no choice but to fight!
[19:34] ---
    What do you think you are doing?
[19:38] ---
    Tempe's Holy Light!
[19:42] ---
    For thee!
[19:43] ---
    For thee!
[19:44] ---
    This is the blessing of light
    granted to those who perish with me!
[19:58] ---
    Shinra!
[19:59] ---
    That demon is too much for us
    to defeat on our own!
[20:02] ---
    All we can do is buy time, like we planned!
[20:05] ---
    Just buying time isn't good enough!
    If we don't stop him here,
[20:09] ---
    he's gonna use the Tabernacle
    and we'll all wind up dead!
[20:12] ---
    The town will be blown up, too!
[20:13] ---
    Yeah! The potato fields
    will be turned into hot potatoes!
[20:16] ---
    There are bigger things
    to worry about than potatoes!
[20:18] ---
    Yes, but still...
[20:20] ---
    Survey the Tabernacle,
    and put this demon to rest.
[20:24] ---
    Those are the only things that we have to do.
[20:26] ---
    Guys, let's pour all of the firepower
    we have right now into this guy!
[20:30] ---
    --Yeah.
    --You got it!
[20:33] ---
    If you oppose me, your status
    in Heaven will drop down.
[20:37] ---
    Who cares?!
[20:39] ---
    Still...
[20:40] ---
    ...how are we going to put him to rest
    with the people we have on hand?
[20:43] ---
    What can we do to produce
    Captain Shinmon levels of firepower?
[20:48] ---
    The Adolla Link. If I can
    gain the Evangelist's Grace,
[20:52] ---
    that might be enough to
    put this demon to rest.
[20:55] ---
    No, the Evangelist is our enemy.
[20:57] ---
    Besides, there's no way I can get
    any Grace out here in this frontier land.
[21:01] ---
    Moreover, Lieutenant Pan and the others
    might be returning at any minute.
[21:05] ---
    Once they do, I can get a power-up buff--
[21:09] ---
    What is it, Kusakabe?
[21:19] ---
    Was that... an Adolla Link?
[21:23] ---
    What do we do?
[21:25] ---
    My Excalibur can get us
    out of here in no time.
[21:27] ---
    We're letting Shinra-kun and
    the others handle things outside.
[21:30] ---
    We should continue our investigation.
[21:32] ---
    You're right.
[21:33] ---
    I have to say, I'm not sure what exactly
    these number sequences represent.
[21:38] ---
    They keep going on that way.
[21:41] ---
    Could it be some kind of code?
[21:43] ---
    No. If it were a code, there would be
    some degree of regularity to them.
[21:48] ---
    But from what I can see,
    this number sequence is all but irregular.
[21:51] ---
    Caw! We've seen these before, too.
    They don't mean anything, do they?
[21:56] ---
    Even if they don't mean anything to us,
[21:58] ---
    it's safe to say that they meant
    something to whoever made these.
[22:02] ---
    There are numbers up there, too.
[22:05] ---
    They're all over the place.
[22:07] ---
    Random number sequences.
[22:09] ---
    --It will be quite a chore
    figuring out what these are.

    But not anybody tells me what that is
[22:52] ---
    Sacrificing my limited life

[23:00] ---
    I just want to believe
[23:04] ---
    Nothing goes to waste

[00:07] ---
    "Prologue: The Great Cataclysm"
[00:11] ---
    A long time ago, mankind was
    touched by the planet's anger,
[00:15] ---
    and the world was engulfed in flames.
[00:18] ---
    It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
[00:21] ---
    The flames burned ferociously,
[00:23] ---
    with an intensity threatening to
    incinerate the places mankind lived in,
[00:27] ---
    the languages they spoke,
    and the culture they had built up.
[00:30] ---
    "Chapter One: Holy Fire"
[00:33] ---
    As the world was being covered in ash,
    one man appeared.
[00:38] ---
    He would later be called Raffles I.
[00:42] ---
    Raffles took his disciples and
    left on a journey in search of light.
[00:47] ---
    At the end of his journey,
    he found an "unsullied flame,"
[00:51] ---
    and brought forth the light that
    would be mankind's salvation.
[00:55] ---
    "Chapter Two: Amaterasu"
[01:00] ---
    Raffles and his disciples used the flame
    bestowed by the great Sol
[01:05] ---
    and the technology cultivated
    by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
[01:10] ---
    The sacred flame of Amaterasu
    benefited the lives of mankind,
[01:15] ---
    and ended up establishing the foundation
    of a state in the Far East.
[01:38] ---
    Pi?!
[01:40] ---
    These numbers?
[01:42] ---
    Yeah.
[01:43] ---
    See? It's easy to tell
    from the numbers on this wall.
[01:47] ---
    "I'm going to cry, Brother Goya" [79458213].
[01:50] ---
    Arthur-kun, you've memorized pi?
[01:52] ---
    The fact that the word "pi" came out
    of Arthur's mouth is surprising enough.
[01:59] ---
    Though, to be sure,
[02:01] ---
    this is a random, irregular sequence of numbers.
[02:05] ---
    It's well within the realm of possibility.
[02:09] ---
    How is it that you've memorized pi?
[02:12] ---
    Because I'm a Knight of the Round Table.
[02:14] ---
    I did some checking into circles.
[02:17] ---
    The Round Table? A ridiculous reason like that?
[02:20] ---
    That's just like you, Arthur-kun.
[02:22] ---
    By the way...
[02:27] ---
    What is pi?
[02:29] ---
    What is...
[02:31] ---
    ...the Round Table?
[02:45] ---
    Everything I've had, I've lost,
[02:48] ---
    but I won't let go of this remaining spark
[02:52] ---
    No, I won't let it go, not ever
[02:56] ---
    Though there may be no right answers
    in my ill-defined tale,
[03:01] ---
    once I'm able to step forward...
[03:05] ---
    They say something's wrong with me,
    but I'll do something with them
[03:11] ---
    I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be
[03:16] ---
    But if my dreams have
    resolved themselves to be by your side
[03:22] ---
    then there's nothing left
    for me to doubt anymore
[03:27] ---
    Sparks fly as things kick off
[03:30] ---
    until "black and white" turns to ashen gray
[03:32] ---
    If there's a choice crown to be had
[03:35] ---
    I want it, I want it
[03:37] ---
    I'll whizz my way toward you
[03:40] ---
    until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out
[03:43] ---
    If the clowns are melancholy
[03:46] ---
    then nothing will get anywhere
[03:49] ---
    I'll show you a love that
    burns hot enough to scorch ashes
[03:54] ---
    I just spark again
[04:02] ---
    "Episode 9:
    The Core"
[04:06] ---
    Pi is the value representing how many times
[04:10] ---
    the diameter of a circle
    can go into its circumference.
[04:13] ---
    It's generally known as the number 3.14,
[04:17] ---
    but its precise value is still
    under calculation, with no answer yet.
[04:22] ---
    It's not as though
    I don't trust you, Arthur-kun,
[04:26] ---
    but until we get back to Tokyo
    and check these tablets against pi...
[04:32] ---
    Could these tablets be the switch
    for the Tabernacle's destructive energy?
[04:37] ---
    I have trouble believing
    that lining up these tablets
[04:40] ---
    will make the Tabernacle go into overload,
[04:43] ---
    but there may be something else in here
    that acts as a startup key.
[04:46] ---
    Let's look around.
[04:50] ---
    That was...
[04:52] ---
    ...another Adolla Link.
[05:01] ---
    A devilish woman...
[05:10] ---
    Yoruba Forge!
[05:13] ---
    Don't flip your lid about
    putting the demon to rest,
[05:15] ---
    and then just stand around!
[05:16] ---
    --S-Sorry!
    --Kotatsu-san! They're coming
    from this way, too!
[05:19] ---
    Well of course they are!
    We're surrounded, after all!
[05:23] ---
    Fire-Cat's Tails!
[05:28] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
[05:31] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[05:34] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
[05:39] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire.
[05:42] ---
    She's begun the prayer. Let's do this, Shinra!
[05:44] ---
    Yeah!
[05:51] ---
    Wah! You missed some of them!
[05:58] ---
    Yoruba Brand!
[06:04] ---
    Finish them off!
[06:12] ---
    Return to the great flame of fire.
[06:19] ---
    Nice going, hero!
[06:25] ---
    How dare you eliminate my servants!
[06:35] ---
    Kotatsu-san!
[06:45] ---
    That's one down.
[06:54] ---
    Juggernaut!
[06:59] ---
    Ah! How could this happen?!
[07:01] ---
    Treat him right away!
[07:03] ---
    --Good. You're safe, Kotatsu-san.
    --No it's not! Juggernaut! This is... This is...
[07:10] ---
    Oh,
[07:11] ---
    no, no, there's nothing
    inside there where the hole is.
[07:15] ---
    Eh?
[07:16] ---
    Huh?
[07:17] ---
    Whew. It's a good thing
    I'm wearing extra layers.
[07:20] ---
    This isn't a question of extra layers!
[07:22] ---
    What have you got going on inside there?!
[07:26] ---
    --Juggernaut!
    --Juggernaut!
[07:29] ---
    Yoruba Spears!
[07:32] ---
    --Gah! Juggernaut!
    --He's had it for sure this time!
[07:37] ---
    No he hasn't!
[07:39] ---
    Lucky for me, I dress warmly.
[07:41] ---
    --Are you for real?
    --He's a quasi-unkillable character.
[07:45] ---
    You seem to be quite tough.
[07:48] ---
    But I am done playing games with you.
[07:51] ---
    I will personally send you
    into the afterlife now.
[08:12] ---
    Die, and become mine!
[08:39] ---
    How do you like this?!
[08:54] ---
    He's strong. Even using Corna,
[08:57] ---
    I don't have enough firepower
    to put this demon to rest.
[09:02] ---
    What do we do, Shinra?
    We'll all be wiped out at this rate--
[09:15] ---
    Damn it!
[09:17] ---
    Protect...
[09:20] ---
    You again?!
[09:22] ---
    I am protecting it!
    Scop and the others asked me to!
[09:28] ---
    "Protect the forest--"
[09:28] ---
    Protect the forest--
[09:31] ---
    Look, I get it, all right?
[09:33] ---
    But I don't have the means!
[09:39] ---
    The devilish woman...
[09:45] ---
    You're the one who's calling out
    to me, right? Where are you?!
[09:49] ---
    Scop and the others
    are waiting for you to return!
[09:53] ---
    Protect...
[09:58] ---
    ...the forest...
[10:07] ---
    You cut right through that sturdy lock!
    I'm not going onto sacred ground!
[10:12] ---
    Don't go ravaging everything you see!
[10:16] ---
    This...
[10:18] ---
    ...is the Tabernacle's central core.
[10:20] ---
    Is that a mechanical sound? It's almost
    like the pulse of a living creature.
[10:27] ---
    What is inside there?
    I'm sensing an incredible energy.
[10:32] ---
    That area with the stone tablets
    encircled the whole central core.
[10:36] ---
    "Current location"
    "Stone tablet corridor"
[10:38] ---
    Imagine, such simple architecture
    giving rise to such tremendous energy.
[10:44] ---
    If there is an Adolla Burst inside that door,
    then this is as far as we can go.
[10:51] ---
    What's that?
[10:53] ---
    A white-feathered arrow. It looks like
    an arrow is stuck in the keyhole.
[10:58] ---
    There are more of them lined up over there.
[11:02] ---
    Seven of them in all.
[11:04] ---
    And the arrowheads look like keys.
[11:07] ---
    Including the one stuck in the keyhole,
[11:10] ---
    there are a total of eight of them.
[11:12] ---
    Eight of them...
[11:15] ---
    Pillars... white-feathered arrows...
[11:19] ---
    And the word suggested by both of them is...
[11:25] ---
    "Sacrifices."
[11:28] ---
    In the old proto-national culture,
[11:31] ---
    it's said that houses of those
    who would become sacrifices
[11:33] ---
    were marked by a white-feathered arrow.
[11:36] ---
    This pulse sounds like it
    must be from something alive.
[11:40] ---
    If the Tabernacle...
[11:42] ---
    ...and Amaterasu...
[11:43] ---
    ...both have an Adolla Burst powering them...
[11:50] ---
    ...then it's just as Joker's
    secret investigation uncovered--
[11:54] ---
    The source of Amaterasu's power...
[11:58] ---
    ...is a person possessing an Adolla Burst!
[12:02] ---
    Sacrifices? You're not saying
    that inside there is...?
[12:05] ---
    Yes. There's a good chance that it's
    the Woman in Black that Scop mentioned.
[12:11] ---
    No way. Scop is waiting for her, right?
[12:16] ---
    But then, if that Woman in Black is in here,
[12:20] ---
    it would explain why Shinra
    is Linking with this building.
[12:27] ---
    You're here, aren't you?
[12:30] ---
    That's you, right? The woman that Scop
    and the others have been waiting for?
[12:39] ---
    I can sense Adolla.
[12:41] ---
    It's just like with the Evangelist,
[12:43] ---
    except that it's an amazingly gentle feeling.
[12:48] ---
    Who exactly are you?
[13:08] ---
    Hey, Shinra!
[13:17] ---
    Give me a hand! I'm getting
    my ass handed to me over here!
[13:19] ---
    Sorry, Ogun, but you have to buy me some time!
[13:22] ---
    If this works, I may be able to
    put that demon to rest!
[13:24] ---
    Huh?!
[13:25] ---
    Please.
[13:29] ---
    You are...
[13:30] ---
    ...the woman that Scop says...
[13:31] ---
    ...is the one who built
    the Tabernacle, aren't you?!
[13:37] ---
    Grace!
[13:38] ---
    Can you grant me the kind of Grace
    that the Evangelist offers?!
[13:44] ---
    I don't completely get it, but all I
    have to do is buy some time, right?
[13:47] ---
    Ogun, I'll help, too!
[13:50] ---
    No. I can handle this by myself.
[14:02] ---
    Time to crank things up!
[14:09] ---
    Flamy Ink!
[14:33] ---
    If all I have to do is buy time...
[14:40] ---
    ...I can just keep chaining combos like this...
[14:43] ---
    ...shooting hoops off to the side, right?!
[14:47] ---
    Whoa!
[14:48] ---
    I-Incredible!
[14:51] ---
    I see now.
[14:52] ---
    Those stories were about Ogun!
[14:55] ---
    The ones about there being
    a new recruit at the 4th
[14:57] ---
    who could temporarily produce
    firepower that rivaled Captain Burns!
[15:00] ---
    Dam! Dam! Dam! Dam! Dam! Dam!
    Dam! Dam! Dam! Dam! Dam! Dam!
[15:05] ---
    It's incredible, all right, but I can't
    make heads or tails of what's going on.
[15:10] ---
    From the stories I've heard,
[15:12] ---
    while he has those flame bands
    circling his body,
[15:15] ---
    he is apparently able to forcibly
    increase his physical abilities. But...
[15:20] ---
    ...is he really going to be okay,
    putting out so much firepower?
[15:25] ---
    I wish there was something
    that I could do to help,
[15:27] ---
    but I'm not sure I could
    keep up with that speed.
[16:00] ---
    You slippery little...
[16:27] ---
    Ogun...
[16:29] ---
    You never give up, do you?
    But it is about time we finished this--
[16:33] ---
    Nya! I'm over here, too!
[16:36] ---
    Tamaki!
[16:37] ---
    Nekomata!
[16:42] ---
    You fight, too, Juggernaut!
[16:46] ---
    Huh?
[16:47] ---
    Eh?!
[16:49] ---
    We all have to buy time together!
[16:51] ---
    Stop, Tamaki!
[16:54] ---
    You cannot defeat me.
[16:56] ---
    I know that!
[16:57] ---
    But there is still something that I can do! Nya!
[17:03] ---
    Wah! Here he comes!
[17:05] ---
    Stay away!
[17:14] ---
    Hey! Don't trash the forest!
[17:17] ---
    S-Sorry!
[17:21] ---
    Oh yeah!
[17:23] ---
    Any more than that will be dangerous for you!
[17:26] ---
    I'll be fine.
[17:30] ---
    I'm gonna...
[17:32] ---
    ...crank it up even higher!
[17:34] ---
    Here goes!
[17:45] ---
    Shoot!
[18:33] ---
    Aren't you ready yet, Shinra?!
    I said I would buy you some time,
[18:36] ---
    but I can't keep this up long!
    Do something before I Overheat!
[18:40] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[18:42] ---
    Don't think that you can
    press your luck forever!
[18:53] ---
    Take this!
[19:05] ---
    Hold it!
[19:09] ---
    Come on, I know you're there! Answer me!
[19:11] ---
    Scop and the others are waiting for you!
[19:15] ---
    What's going on, Shinra? Is she there?
[19:18] ---
    Yeah. The woman you're waiting for
    is in there, making the Tabernacle run.
[19:23] ---
    She's what?! You mean, she's been
    burning for the sake of our forest?
[19:30] ---
    Scop, you call out to her, too!
[19:32] ---
    If we can use her power,
    we can put that demon to rest!
[19:39] ---
    You have worked a miracle
    here in this wasteland!
[19:43] ---
    I, too, want to preserve the forest
    and animals that you have been protecting!
[19:51] ---
    Shinra...
[19:59] ---
    I'm asking, too, lady! All we've ever done
    is be saved by you in every way,
[20:04] ---
    but I'm begging you, help us out once again!
[20:21] ---
    Your call... has been... heard...
[20:30] ---
    However... I only have...
[20:35] ---
    ...enough power left...
    to preserve... the forest...
[20:50] ---
    I am... unable to...
[20:57] ---
    ...provide you with an
    ample amount... of Adolla Grace...
[21:06] ---
    Ample? It doesn't have to be ample!
[21:12] ---
    But... in my current condition...
[21:18] ---
    ...if I were to give you Grace...
[21:23] ---
    One second...
[21:27] ---
    What can you do in a single second...?
[21:34] ---
    Such a small sliver of Grace
    would be... meaningless...
[21:45] ---
    Just one second?
[21:53] ---
    I am sorry that I... could not be...
    of any more help...
[22:20] ---
    One second will be plenty.
[22:23] ---

    Most incidences have their own name
[22:41] ---
    But no one knows and I'm upside down
[22:45] ---
    Billions of people exist
[22:49] ---
    But not anybody tells me what that is
[22:52] ---
    Sacrificing my limited life
[22:56] ---
    Am I moving forward or not
[23:00] ---
    I just want to believe
[23:04] ---
    Nothing goes to waste
[23:07] ---
    I question myself
[23:10] ---
    Why I can't be who I want to be
[23:12] ---
    tangled and translucent
[23:16] ---
    It drains me
[23:17] ---
    Pretending and overextending myself
[23:23] ---
    Wish one day I could love pathetic myself
[23:27] ---
    Hoping for a dazzling future to come
[23:31] ---
    Don't over decorate smile clumsily
[23:35] ---
    Just live life the way I am
[23:38] ---
    This world is cruel
[23:42] ---
    Can't choose how to be born

    going to leave me hanging?!

[00:13] ---
    Your call... has been... heard...
[00:21] ---
    However... I only have...
[00:27] ---
    If I were to give you Grace...
[00:32] ---
    One second...
[00:37] ---
    What can you do in a single second...?
[00:43] ---
    Such a small sliver of Grace
    would be... meaningless...
[01:08] ---
    One second will be plenty.
[01:23] ---
    Everything I've had, I've lost,
[01:26] ---
    but I won't let go of this remaining spark
[01:30] ---
    No, I won't let it go, not ever
[01:34] ---
    Though there may be no right answers
    in my ill-defined tale,
[01:39] ---
    once I'm able to step forward...
[01:43] ---
    They say something's wrong with me,
    but I'll do something with them
[01:49] ---
    I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be
[01:54] ---
    But if my dreams have
    resolved themselves to be by your side
[02:00] ---
    then there's nothing left
    for me to doubt anymore
[02:05] ---
    Sparks fly as things kick off
[02:08] ---
    until "black and white" turns to ashen gray
[02:10] ---
    If there's a choice crown to be had
[02:13] ---
    I want it, I want it
[02:15] ---
    I'll whizz my way toward you
[02:18] ---
    until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out
[02:21] ---
    If the clowns are melancholy
[02:24] ---
    then nothing will get anywhere
[02:27] ---
    I'll show you a love that
    burns hot enough to scorch ashes
[02:32] ---
    I just spark again
[02:41] ---
    "Episode 10:
    The Woman in Black"
[02:51] ---
    Shinra, how long are you
    going to leave me hanging?!
[02:55] ---
    Hurry it up!
[03:01] ---
    With one second...
[03:08] ---
    What can you do in one second?
[03:15] ---
    I can preserve this forest.
[03:18] ---
    I get a similar whiff from you as Adolla--
    as the Evangelist had.
[03:22] ---
    Who are you, exactly?
[03:26] ---
    I am... no different than... the rest of you.
[03:35] ---
    You said that you came to restore this world.
[03:39] ---
    Then what is the Evangelist's objective?
[03:43] ---
    Her... objective... is
    a terrible, arcane act.
[03:53] ---
    To fill this land with flame,
    and destroy everything.
[04:00] ---
    All I have done...
    is to create a land of rest...
[04:07] ---
    ...until the demise that is
    her goal... comes upon us.
[04:13] ---
    To destroy the earth with flames?
    It's just like Rekka said.
[04:18] ---
    Now, time is short. I
    will grant you my Grace.
[04:37] ---
    Ogun, sorry to keep you!
[05:06] ---
    Through my Link with Grace, my body
    is broken down to the particle level.
[05:11] ---
    As I transcend the speed of light,
    time runs backward.
[05:15] ---
    My body, in particle form,
    returns to the way it was in the past.
[05:34] ---
    Are these...
[05:37] ---
    ...Tempe's memories?
[05:41] ---
    Why am I the only one...?
[05:44] ---
    The only one...
[05:50] ---
    I lost all my wealth and property
    in the Great Cataclysm.
[05:55] ---
    I lost my wife and daughter at the same time.
[05:59] ---
    So why did I alone survive?
[06:03] ---
    I hate it! I hate the Great Cataclysm!
[06:06] ---
    I hate the Great Cataclysm for taking
    my status, my women, and my fortune!
[06:19] ---
    I'm here.
[06:23] ---
    This is the spatial rift.
[06:31] ---
    It won't budge. Is there no way
    for me to move beyond here?
[06:37] ---
    Does this mean that what lies ahead
[06:38] ---
    is not a place where humans
    are permitted to enter?
[06:56] ---
    Someone has appeared from beyond the rift!
[06:58] ---
    A person! Wh--
[07:01] ---
    Who-- What... are you?
[07:08] ---
    A-Are you...
[07:11] ---
    G-God? God?!
[07:17] ---
    The Evangelist...
[07:18] ---
    God! Are you God?! You have come
    to grant me your blessing, right?
[07:25] ---
    I've lost my position and money
    in the Great Cataclysm!
[07:28] ---
    Please grant me that kind of joy once again!
[07:32] ---
    Please, I pray of you!
[07:34] ---
    Please, give me salvation!
[07:39] ---
    Salvation...!
[07:56] ---
    I have received God's blessing!
    It hurts! It burns! It is magnificent!
[08:03] ---
    I will now become a god as well,
    and proclaim the greatness of God!
[08:09] ---
    The Evangelist came through
    the spatial rift, too...
[08:13] ---
    But this man Tempe here is beyond hope.
[08:17] ---
    Return to the great flame of fire!
[08:36] ---
    Wh-What?
[08:39] ---
    Where's the demon?
[08:40] ---
    Shinra-kun is gone, too.
[08:43] ---
    Shinra took care of the demon in an instant?
[08:47] ---
    This is the true power of an Adolla Burst?
[08:52] ---
    I got pretty far away from the forest, huh?
[08:56] ---
    I'd better get back to the others.
[09:03] ---
    The Evangelist came from beyond the rift.
[09:07] ---
    Does that mean she isn't from this world?
[09:12] ---
    Special Fire Force, you really did
    eliminate the demon in one second.
[09:18] ---
    I heard that you came from
    beyond the rift, too. I sense...
[09:22] ---
    ...the same kind of presence
    about you as the Evangelist has.
[09:25] ---
    Are you a being from Adolla as well?
[09:28] ---
    You sense that because I have
    been inside the Tabernacle,
[09:33] ---
    being burned for a long
    time by an Adolla Burst,
[09:37] ---
    which must have intensified
    the "presence" of Adolla.
[09:41] ---
    I was originally human.
[09:45] ---
    Just like you... and that demon, Tempe.
[09:53] ---
    I was enkindled with an Adolla Burst
    by an Evangelist's Insect,
[09:59] ---
    and came to this world together with her.
[10:05] ---
    You want to know about the connection
    between myself and the Evangelist,
[10:10] ---
    but I am nothing more than someone
    who was brought here at her whim.
[10:20] ---
    All I did was merely repair the Tabernacle,
[10:26] ---
    something which was already
    here 250 years ago.
[10:32] ---
    To save the animals that were
    living here from their agony,
[10:38] ---
    I used its energy not to destroy,
    but to create, and made this Oasis.
[10:48] ---
    From ancient times,
    mankind has established many religions,
[10:53] ---
    envisioning different images of
    Heaven and Hell, God and the Devil.
[11:02] ---
    Though they grow up in different lands,
    and speak different languages,
[11:08] ---
    for some reason, the religions of
    mankind all share gods and devils.
[11:18] ---
    If the various religions of this world...
[11:23] ---
    are based on visions of Adolla
    that she has shown others...
[11:30] ---
    ...then perhaps from
    mind-bogglingly ancient times,
[11:34] ---
    the Evangelist has been at work,
[11:37] ---
    manipulating the thoughts of mankind
[11:41] ---
    from behind the scenes of history.
[11:46] ---
    One might say that the god
    that all mankind has imagined...
[11:53] ---
    ...is something that she conjured up.
[12:02] ---
    You are trying to go up against...
    the being who created... your God.
[12:15] ---
    God, huh? It is a Fire Soldier's
    duty to stop anyone
[12:19] ---
    who is trying to bring calamity
    to this world, no matter who they are.
[12:26] ---
    It is because of that duty...
[12:30] ---
    ...that this forest... has been saved.
[12:41] ---
    Thank you... very much.
[13:01] ---
    We heard an incredible explosion.
[13:03] ---
    Ogun, is everyone all right?
[13:06] ---
    Lieutenant Pan...
[13:08] ---
    We're all done out here.
    Shinra just put the demon to rest, too.
[13:12] ---
    Hey!
[13:13] ---
    Shinra is coming back.
[13:17] ---
    Lieutenant Pan,
[13:19] ---
    how was the inside of the Tabernacle?
    Are you done investigating?
[13:22] ---
    We hit the mother lode!
[13:34] ---
    I don't hear her voice.
[13:38] ---
    She must have gone to sleep.
[13:43] ---
    I am most grateful for your help
    in putting the demon to rest.
[13:49] ---
    What we learned during this investigation
    is a big leap forward for us.
[13:55] ---
    If Amaterasu in Tokyo is set up
    the same way as the Tabernacle here,
[13:59] ---
    it will also have a human power source.
[14:02] ---
    You're eating this up, huh?
[14:03] ---
    Er... and if Amaterasu's power source
    is a person with an Adolla Burst,
[14:08] ---
    then the eight pillars would be...
[14:10] ---
    ...sacrifices.
[14:11] ---
    If they're sacrifices,
    then the word "pillar" fits right in.
[14:17] ---
    That girl who Linked with me,
    who we believe to be the First Pillar--
[14:21] ---
    If there is a person inside Amaterasu,
    then she might very well be a sacrifice.
[14:29] ---
    And that intense feeling
    of hatred I felt from her?
[14:33] ---
    She might resent humanity
    for making her live as a sacrifice.
[14:37] ---
    So unlike the "Woman in Black"
    inside the Tabernacle,
[14:41] ---
    maybe she didn't choose to go inside,
    but was exploited instead.
[14:46] ---
    It sounds like the Holy Sol Temple
    and Haijima, who built Amaterasu,
[14:50] ---
    might be hiding something, all right.
[14:51] ---
    "Haijima Industries"
[14:53] ---
    Those eight arrows that were at the core--
[14:56] ---
    they may be some kind of keys.
[15:00] ---
    The memory stick that
    Dr. Giovanni stole from Vulcan--
[15:04] ---
    that might also have data on it
    regarding the "key" to Amaterasu,
[15:08] ---
    similar to those arrows.
[15:10] ---
    But this series of numbers is
    something I have no idea about.
[15:15] ---
    Arthur-kun said they were pi.
[15:19] ---
    But until we get back to Tokyo
    and compare them, I can't tell for sure.
[15:23] ---
    If that is what they are, we don't
    even know if the two are related.
[15:27] ---
    Whatever the case,
[15:29] ---
    we can be sure that things are going
    the way the Evangelist wants them to.
[15:33] ---
    Making sacrifices of the Eight Adolla Bursts,
[15:36] ---
    and using Amaterasu to
    kick start a Great Cataclysm.
[15:42] ---
    We're starting to see now
    what the Evangelist's goal is.
[15:44] ---
    But I have no intention of letting her
    wrap us around her finger anymore.
[15:49] ---
    "God," my eye!
[15:50] ---
    I'll stop her, no matter what!
[16:23] ---
    You're leaving already?
[16:25] ---
    You've come all this way.
    Why not stay a little longer?
[16:28] ---
    Heroes are busy people.
[16:31] ---
    Heroes, huh? You're amazing, Shinra.
[16:36] ---
    I'm just a weakling, who always
    has to have others help him.
[16:40] ---
    I can't do anything on my own.
    I'm just a coward who can't fight.
[16:48] ---
    What's too much for you is
    too much for you. What can you do?
[16:51] ---
    But you are not a coward.
[16:54] ---
    Stubbornly taking too much upon yourself,
[16:56] ---
    until it breaks you, just
    makes you miserable.
[16:59] ---
    You wanted to preserve this forest, right?
[17:04] ---
    Where's the harm in
    turning to others to achieve that?
[17:07] ---
    Acknowledging your weaknesses
[17:09] ---
    and asking for help from others
    takes its own kind of courage.
[17:12] ---
    If things ever get dicey again, just call me.
[17:19] ---
    That's what heroes are for, after all.
[17:30] ---
    I'm going to train by digging
    a thousand holes every day!
[17:34] ---
    And if that's still not enough,
    then I'll call for help, okay?!
[17:37] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[17:39] ---
    See you later!
[17:45] ---
    Hell yeah!
[17:48] ---
    Seriously, why aren't you wearing your masks?
[17:52] ---
    "Mission"
[17:53] ---
    "Complete"
[18:06] ---
    The First Pillar?
[18:09] ---
    Are you inside Amaterasu?
[18:12] ---
    No...
[18:15] ---
    ...are you Amaterasu?
[18:20] ---
    Shinra!
[18:24] ---
    We're in Tokyo. Get ready.
[18:26] ---
    Y-Yes, sir.
[18:30] ---
    That girl appeared in my dreams again.
[18:38] ---
    Were your father and mother relieved?
[18:41] ---
    Mm-hmm. I told them about
    Scop and the others.
[18:44] ---
    They reclaimed the Oasis,
[18:46] ---
    so the whole reason fer them to ransack
    our potato fields is all settled up now.
[18:49] ---
    Everything's hunky-dory.
[18:50] ---
    If they're so hard up, we coulda
    afforded 'em some potatoes, at least.
[18:56] ---
    I'm glad you got to see your parents.
[18:58] ---
    Mm-hmm, and the potatoes
    were doing well, too.
[19:00] ---
    I wanted more adventure.
[19:02] ---
    That gas was fun, huh?
[19:07] ---
    That girl I saw in my dream--
[19:10] ---
    As the water she was in was evaporating...
[19:13] ---
    ...it looked like she was crying.
[19:18] ---
    Amaterasu-- Who exactly is she, anyway?
[19:23] ---
    If there really is someone inside Amaterasu,
[19:27] ---
    it introduces a contradiction in the
    dogma and scripture of the Holy Sol Temple,
[19:31] ---
    which have been guiding the Tokyo Empire.
[19:35] ---
    Remember the words of the Prologue.
[19:37] ---
    "A long time ago, mankind was
    touched by the planet's anger..."
[19:43] ---
    "Prologue: The Great Cataclysm"
[19:46] ---
    A long time ago, mankind was
    touched by the planet's anger,
[19:50] ---
    and the world was engulfed in flames.
[19:53] ---
    It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
[19:56] ---
    The flames burned ferociously,
[19:59] ---
    with an intensity threatening to
    incinerate the places mankind lived in,
[20:02] ---
    the languages they spoke,
    and the culture they had built up.
[20:05] ---
    "Chapter One: Holy Fire"
[20:08] ---
    As the world was being covered in ash,
    one man appeared.
[20:14] ---
    He would later be called Raffles I.
[20:18] ---
    Raffles took his disciples and
    left on a journey in search of light.
[20:23] ---
    At the end of his journey,
    he found an "unsullied flame,"
[20:27] ---
    and brought forth the light that
    would be mankind's salvation.
[20:31] ---
    "Chapter Two: Amaterasu"
[20:36] ---
    Raffles and his disciples used the flame
    bestowed by the great Sol
[20:41] ---
    and the technology cultivated
    by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
[20:46] ---
    The sacred flame of Amaterasu
    benefitted the lives of mankind,
[20:50] ---
    and ended up establishing the foundation
    of a state in the Far East.
[20:58] ---
    "Noto Farms Potatoes"
[21:11] ---
    See you later!
[21:35] ---
    Today's Amaterasu operational rate is normal.
[21:44] ---
    Amaterasu is the reason why
    this country developed. But...
[21:50] ---
    ...if Adolla Bursts are actually something
[21:53] ---
    that the Evangelist bestowed upon mankind...
[21:57] ---
    If the Evangelist was the one
    who developed this country,
[22:01] ---
    why is she trying to destroy it now?
[22:05] ---
    You can't help but wonder if the Holy Sol Temple
    is hiding something, can you?
[22:13] ---
    Let's head in and report to Captain Obi.
[22:24] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:37] ---
    Most incidences have their own name
[22:41] ---
    But no one knows and I'm upside down
[22:45] ---
    Billions of people exist
[22:49] ---
    But not anybody tells me what that is
[22:52] ---
    Sacrificing my limited life
[22:56] ---
    Am I moving forward or not
[23:00] ---
    I just want to believe
[23:04] ---
    Nothing goes to waste
[23:07] ---
    I question myself
[23:10] ---
    Why I can't be who I want to be
[23:12] ---
    tangled and translucent
[23:16] ---
    It drains me
[23:17] ---
    Pretending and overextending myself
[23:23] ---
    Wish one day I could love pathetic myself
[23:27] ---
    Hoping for a dazzling future to come
[23:31] ---
    Don't over decorate smile clumsily
[23:35] ---
    Just live life the way I am
[23:38] ---
    This world is cruel
[23:42] ---
    Can't choose how to be born
[23:46] ---
    Stick up the middle finger then

[00:07] ---
    "Prologue: The Great Cataclysm"
[00:11] ---
    A long time ago, mankind was
    touched by the planet's anger,
[00:15] ---
    and the world was engulfed in flames.
[00:18] ---
    It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
[00:20] ---
    The flames burned ferociously,
[00:23] ---
    with an intensity threatening to
    incinerate the places mankind lived in,
[00:27] ---
    the languages they spoke,
    and the culture they had built up.
[00:30] ---
    "Chapter One: Holy Fire"
[00:33] ---
    As the world was being covered in ash,
    one man appeared.
[00:38] ---
    He would later be called Raffles I.
[00:42] ---
    Raffles took his disciples and
    left on a journey in search of light.
[00:47] ---
    At the end of his journey,
    he found an "unsullied flame,"
[00:51] ---
    and brought forth the light that
    would be mankind's salvation.
[00:55] ---
    "Chapter Two: Amaterasu"
[01:00] ---
    Raffles and his disciples used the flame
    bestowed by the great Sol
[01:04] ---
    and the technology cultivated
    by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
[01:10] ---
    The sacred flame of Amaterasu
    benefited the lives of mankind,
[01:15] ---
    and ended up establishing the foundation
    of a state in the Far East.
[02:10] ---
    During the investigation we just carried out,
[02:12] ---
    we discovered a facility called the Tabernacle,
    that is similar to Amaterasu,
[02:15] ---
    and determined that its power source
    was a person bearing an Adolla Burst.
[02:31] ---
    In addition--and this is still speculation--
[02:35] ---
    the source of power for
    the empire's Amaterasu is also a person.
[02:38] ---
    Probably the girl that I Linked with at the 4th,
[02:41] ---
    whom we suspect to be the First Pillar.
[02:45] ---
    But then, what is written in the scriptures
    of the Holy Sol Temple is...
[02:53] ---
    It means that the Holy Sol Temple's scriptures
[02:56] ---
    would be presenting teachings
    that are incorrect.
[03:00] ---
    Every citizen of the empire
    knows what's in the scriptures.
[03:04] ---
    Are you telling me they're false?
[03:06] ---
    Of course they are!
[03:08] ---
    They don't say anywhere that our family
    were the ones who built Amaterasu!
[03:14] ---
    But to think that there's
    a person inside Amaterasu...
[03:18] ---
    What were my ancestors involved in?
[03:23] ---
    False teachings...
    Does that mean that it's possible
[03:26] ---
    the Evangelist and
    the Holy Sol Temple are connected?
[03:35] ---
    Shinra, Arthur, Tamaki,
    excellent work on this mission.
[03:41] ---
    I'm going to report the results of your
    investigation to the top brass at once.
[03:46] ---
    Lieutenant?
[03:48] ---
    This concludes today's meeting.
    All personnel, return to your normal duties.
[03:58] ---
    Iris, are you okay?
[04:01] ---
    Just thinking that this country is
    built on one person's sacrifice...
[04:05] ---
    It's hard for us to believe,
    as Holy Sol adherents, isn't it?
[04:11] ---
    Captain, is the Holy Sol Temple evil?
[04:14] ---
    I can't say for sure.
[04:16] ---
    But the fact that the Holy Sol Temple
    supports the people is true.
[04:21] ---
    I am grateful for Sol's grace.
[04:26] ---
    Thank you very much.
[04:29] ---
    I have to find the truth, for the sake of
    the sister and other devout believers.
[05:21] ---
    No doubt about it. Arthur-kun was right.
[05:25] ---
    The sequence of numbers
    inside the Tabernacle is pi!
[05:30] ---
    But what does pi have to do with Amaterasu?
[05:49] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple's scriptures
    are flat-out false.
[05:54] ---
    And the development of the country
    has been nothing more than a put-up job.
[05:59] ---
    But if the people of the empire
    learn of our suspicions about Amaterasu...
[06:05] ---
    If the results of this investigation
    ever come to light,
[06:07] ---
    it would rock the whole Tokyo Empire.
[06:10] ---
    I know. We have to be very careful
    about how we treat this information.
[06:16] ---
    Unfortunately, I doubt
    this country would change.
[06:20] ---
    The story would just get hushed up,
    and that would be the end of it.
[06:30] ---
    I guess this is all the Fire Force can do.
[06:39] ---
    It might be time to play it a little rougher.
[06:58] ---
    That's a dangerous idea, isn't it?
    Paying a visit to the Holy Sol Temple?
[07:06] ---
    Sounds intriguing, right?
[07:09] ---
    You're not exactly on the
    straight and narrow. Who are you?
[07:18] ---
    A dark hero.
[07:33] ---
    Everything I've had, I've lost,
[07:36] ---
    but I won't let go of this remaining spark
[07:40] ---
    No, I won't let it go, not ever
[07:44] ---
    Though there may be no right answers
    in my ill-defined tale,
[07:49] ---
    once I'm able to step forward...
[07:53] ---
    They say something's wrong with me,
    but I'll do something with them
[07:59] ---
    I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be
[08:04] ---
    But if my dreams have
    resolved themselves to be by your side
[08:10] ---
    then there's nothing left
    for me to doubt anymore
[08:15] ---
    Sparks fly as things kick off
[08:18] ---
    until "black and white" turns to ashen gray
[08:20] ---
    If there's a choice crown to be had
[08:23] ---
    I want it, I want it
[08:25] ---
    I'll whizz my way toward you
[08:28] ---
    until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out
[08:31] ---
    If the clowns are melancholy
[08:34] ---
    then nothing will get anywhere
[08:37] ---
    I'll show you a love that
    burns hot enough to scorch ashes
[08:42] ---
    I just spark again
[08:50] ---
    "Episode 11:
    Dark Hero"
[08:59] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple is hiding something.
    Don't you find that shady?
[09:05] ---
    You're just as shady, yourself.
[09:33] ---
    All the same, this does sound interesting.
[09:39] ---
    So, why me?
[09:41] ---
    As proto-nationalists,
[09:44] ---
    you all have been unfairly oppressed
    by the Holy Sol Temple.
[09:49] ---
    I doubt you've forgotten that fact, right?
[09:58] ---
    Or now that you're an imperial Fire Soldier,
[10:02] ---
    have you lowered yourself
    to being one of their dogs?
[10:17] ---
    Please do not give money to solicitors.
[10:20] ---
    This is Armed Forces Security Enforcement.
[10:24] ---
    What is right and what is wrong?
[10:29] ---
    I just want to know the right answers.
[10:35] ---
    The vague scraps presented by God aren't enough.
[10:40] ---
    Only the right answers are
    the singular truths that transcend God.
[10:45] ---
    I want to know the cause of human combustion,
[10:47] ---
    and what exactly is happening in the world.
[10:56] ---
    "Several years earlier"
    "Haijima Industries, Headquarters"
[11:01] ---
    "Infernal"
[11:03] ---
    "Infernal"
    "human combustion"
[11:05] ---
    "Infernal"
    "human combustion"
    "Adolla Burst"
[11:07] ---
    "Infernal"
    "human combustion"
    "Adolla Burst" "Great Cataclysm"
[11:12] ---
    Licht-kun, I read your paper on
    human combustion. It was really good.
[11:17] ---
    How did you come up with
    the idea behind your theory?
[11:29] ---
    H-Hey, Licht-kun!
[11:34] ---
    I'm just...
[11:38] ---
    ...trying to find the right answer.
[11:42] ---
    The right answer is the one thing
    in this world that I can trust.
[11:52] ---
    Is that your just cause, Viktor Licht?
[11:57] ---
    You again?
[11:59] ---
    I seek the truth; I have no need for
    anything as ill-defined as just causes.
[12:07] ---
    Heroes need them.
[12:43] ---
    We can't go public? Why not, sir?!
[12:45] ---
    No, I wouldn't think so.
[12:47] ---
    The facts that you uncovered
    are likely to disturb the empire's citizens.
[12:53] ---
    Apparently, things must be done
    in order for everything to be disclosed.
[12:56] ---
    Disturbed? You're kidding.
[12:59] ---
    Much as I hate it,
    this was the top brass's decision.
[13:03] ---
    We'll have to wait for three years
    while this goes through the church,
[13:06] ---
    to allow them to reveal the truth
    in a way that won't cause any chaos.
[13:09] ---
    Th-Three whole years?
[13:12] ---
    So we have to keep on deceiving
    the empire's people during that time?
[13:16] ---
    If that's the case, I don't understand
    why we even went to investigate!
[13:20] ---
    --Not to mention what the White-Clad
    will do in the meantime...
    --It's not unusual for the truth to be hidden to preserve the status quo.
[13:26] ---
    The "imperial dogs" aren't up to this.
[13:29] ---
    This calls for a stray dog
    that isn't chained up to anything!
[13:42] ---
    Waka! Waka!
[13:44] ---
    Hey, have you seen Waka around?
[13:46] ---
    Huh? You, too, Lieutenant Konro?
    We were just looking for him, as well.
[13:50] ---
    For crying out loud, where could he be
    out whooping it up at this hour?
[13:55] ---
    Well, he's bound to get hungry
    and come back home before breakfast.
[13:59] ---
    Whenever you do see Waka, come let me know.
[14:02] ---
    Yes, sir.
[14:11] ---
    Oh, Beni, here I thought you were
    starting to get your act together lately.
[14:17] ---
    Don't go stirring up any trouble.
[14:26] ---
    Is that it?
[14:28] ---
    As you can see, the approach is
    exposed and the security is tight.
[14:33] ---
    We won't be able to just sneak on in.
[14:37] ---
    As such, how about we bust our way
    right through the main entrance?
[14:42] ---
    Nice and straightforward.
[14:45] ---
    You know, I still can't believe
    you decided to tag along
[14:48] ---
    with someone as fishy as I am.
    There's something quite different about you.
[14:53] ---
    Yeah. That's because you are so fishy.
[14:57] ---
    If you try anything funny, I'll have
    my eye on you, and can just stomp you.
[15:03] ---
    Don't push me, now! We're so high up!
[15:06] ---
    I'm not pushing you yet.
[15:10] ---
    You're on the empire's wanted list, aren't you?
[15:14] ---
    Why are you taking a risk
    like storming the Imperial Seat?
[15:21] ---
    For my just cause.
[15:28] ---
    I want to know the truth! About what's
    happening in this country, and this world!
[15:35] ---
    To find out that truth, I'm willing to
    let my humanity, my ethics,
[15:39] ---
    my morality, and my virtue be damned!
[15:43] ---
    I was born and brought up in this land.
[15:46] ---
    I have a right to know the truth about it!
[15:51] ---
    Truth is the one thing that
    spells equal justice for all!
[15:57] ---
    What's in there?
[15:59] ---
    The "true" scriptures that
    the Holy Sol Temple has been hiding.
[16:05] ---
    Never heard of them.
    How do you know about them?
[16:10] ---
    I happen to know just a little bit
    about the church.
[16:16] ---
    All right, let's climb down
    and go pay our respects.
[16:21] ---
    We're climbing down?!
    Why did we even come up here?!
[16:24] ---
    People expect you to look down on things
    from above when you're a hero.
[16:30] ---
    "Holy Sol Temple, Imperial Seat"
[16:38] ---
    Our Lord, who shineth in Heaven,
[16:43] ---
    please bestow thy blessed light upon us.
[16:48] ---
    Látom.
[16:56] ---
    Allow me.
[16:57] ---
    That's okay.
[16:59] ---
    Do you know why I devote myself
    to Sol as much as I do?
[17:05] ---
    Of course, Excellency.
[17:22] ---
    In times of old, there were many religions
    that thrived around the world,
[17:27] ---
    and by standing together in their belief in God,
[17:31] ---
    they established a way of living
    that maintained discipline.
[17:35] ---
    Now, in recent times, a newly-created science
[17:39] ---
    has allowed mankind to develop
    more abundantly, and more efficiently.
[17:46] ---
    Before the Great Cataclysm,
[17:48] ---
    there were many forms of religion
    and government across a vast world.
[17:54] ---
    However, all of them have perished.
[17:59] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple is a bundling of
    all the histories of mankind.
[18:05] ---
    All of the world's diverse religions,
    governments, and science
[18:09] ---
    became as one, centered around
    Sol and Amaterasu.
[18:17] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple is indeed
    mankind's final light, the "truth."
[18:27] ---
    No one in this world can be allowed
    to betray the Holy Sol Temple.
[18:33] ---
    Yes, heretics who follow not after
    the Holy Sol Temple, which leads to rebirth,
[18:38] ---
    but idolize this Destroyer God, Shinmon.
[18:43] ---
    Do the residents of Asakusa still reject
    the beneficence of Amaterasu?
[18:50] ---
    We have been advised by the cardinals
    to avoid doing anything
[18:53] ---
    that might provoke Benimaru Shinmon.
[19:07] ---
    Benimaru Shinmon...
[19:10] ---
    What was that sound?!
[19:11] ---
    It was close!
[19:12] ---
    It's the main entrance!
[19:14] ---
    B-B-Benimaru Shinmon is attacking!
[19:23] ---
    No, Your Excellency,
    we have done nothing to him yet!
[19:32] ---
    Stop that man!
[20:01] ---
    Why is Benimaru Shinmon here?!
[20:05] ---
    I'm not Benimaru Shinmon.
[20:10] ---
    I'm Shinmon Benimaru.
[20:13] ---
    You really let them have it.
    F--- the Holy Sol Temple! That felt good.
[20:19] ---
    You're the one who told me to do it.
[20:22] ---
    Kicking disciple ass in the house of God--
[20:25] ---
    what's become of your sense of justice?
[20:28] ---
    This isn't about anything
    as significant as "justice."
[20:31] ---
    All I want is for those around me
    to be able to live happy lives.
[20:36] ---
    I don't know if it's because
    I'm a proto-nationalist,
[20:39] ---
    but I just don't like the Holy Sol Temple.
[20:43] ---
    The energy that is produced by Amaterasu
[20:46] ---
    somehow has the stink of blood on it.
[20:48] ---
    Your senses are sharp, aren't they?
[20:51] ---
    I like how being with you
    doesn't make me feel tense.
[20:56] ---
    These guys may not look it,
    but they're the elite guard.
[21:00] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple
[21:01] ---
    boasts that they have God's Holy Fire
    and the power of science,
[21:04] ---
    and proclaims that mankind is wonderful,
[21:08] ---
    but people are nothing but animals
    before we ever get to mankind and God.
[21:14] ---
    They say we are a nation blessed by God,
[21:17] ---
    but if just one animal goes wild,
    it all falls apart.
[21:22] ---
    I just want to make them understand that.
[21:28] ---
    This is no place for a barbarian
    like you to trespass.
[21:34] ---
    Die.
[21:41] ---
    Hey, what's the matter?
[21:56] ---
    Hey... Mr. Almighty?
[22:05] ---
    I have no prayers to offer for you!
[22:16] ---
    Hey...

    "To be continued"

    Lame.
[22:37] ---

[22:41] ---
    But no one knows and I'm upside down
[22:45] ---
    Billions of people exist

    But not anybody tells me what that is
[22:52] ---
    Sacrificing my limited life
[22:56] ---
    Am I moving forward or not
[23:00] ---
    I just want to believe
[23:04] ---
    Nothing goes to waste
[23:07] ---
    I question myself
[23:10] ---
    Why I can't be who I want to be
[23:12] ---
    tangled and translucent
[23:16] ---
    It drains me
[23:17] ---
    Pretending and overextending myself
[23:23] ---
    Wish one day I could love pathetic myself
[23:27] ---
    Hoping for a dazzling future to come
[23:31] ---
    Don't over decorate smile clumsily
[23:35] ---
    Just live life the way I am
[23:38] ---
    This world is cruel
[23:42] ---
    Can't choose how to be born
[23:46] ---
    Stick up the middle finger then

[24:07] ---
    What they seek is an even deeper mystery
    within the Holy Sol Temple.
[24:11] ---
    I'm not sure how I feel about this.

[00:14] ---
    Hey... Mr. Almighty?
[00:18] ---
    You went down way too easily.
[00:22] ---
    Damn it, why do you think
    I brought you along?
[00:25] ---
    He was pretty overconfident about
    being the mightiest Fire Soldier,
[00:29] ---
    but this is what it means
    to be an overly naive animal.
[00:33] ---
    What did you do?
[00:36] ---
    Do you see anyone dumb enough to answer that?
[00:50] ---
    Why, you...
[00:52] ---
    You dosed me with something, huh?
[00:55] ---
    Impossible! That poison is
    immediately fatal to even large animals--
[01:09] ---
    A blowgun. This is how he poisoned you.
[01:14] ---
    So how come you're all right?
[01:17] ---
    Hell if I know. What doesn't
    affect me doesn't affect me.
[01:20] ---
    --You really are Mr. Almighty, huh?
[01:22] ---
    --Circle around them!
    --Don't let them through!
    --You really are Mr. Almighty, huh?
[01:23] ---
    --Go call for more men!
    --This is bad!
    --Shut up. Let's get going.
[01:28] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[01:34] ---
    "Beni-J"
[01:48] ---
    Everything I've had, I've lost,
[01:51] ---
    but I won't let go of this remaining spark
[01:55] ---
    No, I won't let it go, not ever
[01:59] ---
    Though there may be no right answers
    in my ill-defined tale,
[02:04] ---
    once I'm able to step forward...
[02:08] ---
    They say something's wrong with me,
    but I'll do something with them
[02:14] ---
    I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be
[02:19] ---
    But if my dreams have
    resolved themselves to be by your side
[02:25] ---
    then there's nothing left
    for me to doubt anymore
[02:30] ---
    Sparks fly as things kick off
[02:33] ---
    until "black and white" turns to ashen gray
[02:35] ---
    If there's a choice crown to be had
[02:38] ---
    I want it, I want it
[02:40] ---
    I'll whizz my way toward you
[02:43] ---
    until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out
[02:46] ---
    If the clowns are melancholy
[02:49] ---
    then nothing will get anywhere
[02:52] ---
    I'll show you a love that
    burns hot enough to scorch ashes
[02:57] ---
    I just spark again
[03:05] ---
    "Episode 12:
    Shadows Cast by Divine Light"
[03:09] ---
    Damn it, how did it come to this?
[03:12] ---
    Don't let them near the church!
[03:13] ---
    Tch, buzz off, will you?
[03:16] ---
    Do you know what's going to
    happen if you do this?!
[03:20] ---
    I have absolutely no idea
    what you're talking about.
[03:23] ---
    The Destroyer God has gone mad!
[03:26] ---
    Give me a break with that
    "god" business. I'm just a simple...
[03:30] ---
    ...wild child.

[04:06] ---
    It's positively deserted in here.
[04:08] ---
    They're in the Nether.
[04:09] ---
    The Nether? I thought the Nether
    was anathema to the Holy Sol Temple.
[04:15] ---
    They forbid it because
    they don't want it to be seen.
[04:19] ---
    The truth is, they love the Nether.
[04:26] ---
    Hmm?
[04:28] ---
    Down here.
[04:34] ---
    Hey, what's wrong? Let's go.
[04:37] ---
    How do you know all of this?
[04:40] ---
    Because yours truly also loves the dark.
[04:54] ---
    I think it's time for some answers.
[04:57] ---
    Who the hell are you?
[05:00] ---
    I was content enough
    to come this far with you,
[05:03] ---
    but depending on how you answer,
    I might have to put you down next.
[05:07] ---
    I'm not much for talking about
    the past. Does it really matter?
[05:13] ---
    Hey,
[05:15] ---
    this isn't an empty threat.
[05:21] ---
    I used to be in this church, a long time ago.
[05:26] ---
    That's not so unusual, is it?
[05:29] ---
    Hold on...
[05:30] ---
    More questions?
[05:32] ---
    I'm surprised the demolishing king
    of Asakusa is so interested in others.
[05:37] ---
    Then, did you...
[05:43] ---
    ...used to cut your hair like that?
[05:44] ---
    No, I didn't! I worked more
    in the shadows, after all!
[05:48] ---
    The shadows?
[05:49] ---
    You'll see it for yourself soon enough.
[05:52] ---
    Now let's find the scriptures we're after
    before someone comes to stop us.
[05:59] ---
    So they have this down in the Nether?
[06:01] ---
    It's a facility that uses old ruins
    that were already in the Nether.
[06:07] ---
    So what the hell are they planning down here?
[06:10] ---
    Hey, now. You're a proto-nationalist;
    don't be afraid of the Nether.
[06:17] ---
    What's that?
[06:23] ---
    They're here.
[06:30] ---
    The Holy Sol's Shadows.
[06:43] ---
    My old haunt.
[06:50] ---
    You were a member of this bunch?
[06:53] ---
    Yeah, well...
[06:55] ---
    The Holy Sol's Shadows--the Holy Sol Temple's
    secret assassination team.
[07:02] ---
    Such a stale crowd.
[07:06] ---
    This holy ground is no place for
    profane masses like you to set foot in.
[07:11] ---
    How unwelcoming.
    I just wanted to say "I'm home."
[07:16] ---
    What?
[07:18] ---
    Does the name "52" mean anything to you?
[07:22] ---
    Hmm? You don't mean you're...?
[07:27] ---
    Yes, I am.
[07:42] ---
    We are the children of the Sun.
[07:45] ---
    We devote our lives to
    and live in the shadows.
[07:49] ---
    Látom.
[07:51] ---
    --Látom.
    --Látom.
[08:01] ---
    Damn it!
[08:04] ---
    I-I give!
[08:06] ---
    That will do. Stand down, 52.
[08:10] ---
    He's good.
[08:11] ---
    He's still just a kid, too.
[08:13] ---
    That was amazing, 52.
[08:15] ---
    It was no big deal.
[08:18] ---
    I'll take you on this time.
[08:21] ---
    You don't need to hold back. Come at me.
[08:24] ---
    Commander, 52 isn't up to
    pairing off with you yet--
[08:27] ---
    Come at me.
[08:36] ---
    There is nothing special about you.
[08:39] ---
    We are all orphans of the Sun here,
    taken in by God.
[08:49] ---
    Whenever I see kids like you,
    who think they're something special,
[08:54] ---
    I can't just let matters sit.
[08:56] ---
    Make no mistake, kid.
[08:58] ---
    --Scum does not press its luck.
    And you are scum.
[09:00] ---
    --That's enough, sir...
    --Scum does not press its luck.
    And you are scum.
[09:02] ---
    You know that, right?
    The lowest form of irredeemable scum
[09:06] ---
    ever to spring from anyone's loins.
[09:08] ---
    You can't do anything. Make no mistake.
[09:12] ---
    Please stop, sir! You'll kill him!
[09:14] ---
    Don't be so naive as to think that
    everyone is special in their own way.
[09:20] ---
    People are not individuals;
    they are a group. A collective.
[09:24] ---
    Remember that.
[09:29] ---
    Everyone... is different...
    which means they're special...
[09:35] ---
    ...is such an obvious and
    crappy idea that I never thought it...
[09:40] ---
    I just... want to get stronger...
[09:45] ---
    Why... does the world
    suck as much as it does?
[09:49] ---
    I want to get strong
    enough... to find out why.
[09:54] ---
    Even just a little stronger
    than everyone else,
[09:58] ---
    so I can get rid of any bastard
    that gets in my way.
[10:06] ---
    What is wrong with this world?
    Why does it suck as much as it does?
[10:13] ---
    This watch was left in the same place
    where I was abandoned.
[10:18] ---
    This watch is the only thing
    that connects me to the world.
[10:22] ---
    That watch again?
[10:24] ---
    You said this watch was a keepsake
    from your parents, right?
[10:32] ---
    Our only parent is Sol.
[10:35] ---
    You don't have any family.
[10:40] ---
    It appears you require further correction.
[10:43] ---
    Report to my room tonight.
[10:58] ---
    I'm not through with you
    yet. Stand up straight.
[11:03] ---
    For the nation and the Holy Sol Temple
    to be strong and beautiful,
[11:07] ---
    pariahs such as ourselves are required.
[11:16] ---
    I will defile you right down to the bone.
[11:27] ---
    The demon Infernal took the baby,
    Sho Kusakabe, and fled.
[11:32] ---
    Find it and kill it.
[11:34] ---
    Yes, sir.
[11:35] ---
    Commander, it's 52!
[11:40] ---
    The Holy Sol's Shadows are off-balance today
    because of the demon Infernal.
[11:45] ---
    If I let this chance
    pass, I'll never be free.
[11:51] ---
    My left eye...! Right now, Burns must be...
[11:55] ---
    The Sun offers its light
    to all men equally, right?
[12:00] ---
    Then please, let me have its light, too...
[12:13] ---
    Dad!
[12:14] ---
    There's a boy about my age
    lying on the ground outside the house!
[12:18] ---
    Huh?
[12:27] ---
    Let me help you out somehow to thank you.
[12:30] ---
    Your cleaning, your shopping, anything.
[12:33] ---
    There's no need for that. Don't you worry.
[12:37] ---
    You can wear these.
[12:39] ---
    Huh?
[12:40] ---
    I'm handing them down to you.
[12:43] ---
    Thanks.
[12:47] ---
    All right, I got everything on here.
[13:04] ---
    For the first time,
    I realized the position I was in.
[13:07] ---
    No matter where I went,
    I would always be a stranger to the light.
[13:15] ---
    52 had already moved on.
[13:18] ---
    Did you eliminate the family?
[13:20] ---
    Yes, sir.
[13:22] ---
    He has left the collective.
[13:25] ---
    From here on, he is alone.
    A single individual.
[13:29] ---
    He will never walk the
    path of humanity again.
[13:40] ---
    This world sucks.
[13:45] ---
    Over and over, and over,
    and over, you taught me that.
[13:51] ---
    That's why I want to know
    the truth of this world.
[13:55] ---
    You get lonely being
    by yourself, you little pup?
[13:59] ---
    You two will never again
    see the light of the Sun.
[14:07] ---
    Kiss my ass.
[14:12] ---
    I'll take the commander.
[14:15] ---
    You can have the rest.
[14:17] ---
    Huh? We aren't each taking half?
[14:19] ---
    Every one of them is awfully tough.
[14:25] ---
    In that case, this sounds like
    it's going to be quite a challenge.
[14:41] ---
    Go!
[15:04] ---
    Your breathing...
[15:06] ---
    ...is that of those who are
    earnestly out for my life. However,
[15:12] ---
    I'm just here for a good fight.
[15:20] ---
    Here. Catch.
[15:26] ---
    Don't whine to me over a lousy arm.
[15:32] ---
    Is killing me the only thing
    you're thinking about?
[15:37] ---
    Iai Chop, Form One: Fire Moon!
[15:53] ---
    Apparently, you value your own lives
    as little as you do your opponents' lives.
[16:08] ---
    You haven't changed one bit.
[16:13] ---
    Whoa!
[16:14] ---
    I guess it's no surprise
    you look the same with that mask on.
[16:17] ---
    You could have just stayed
    cowering in hiding forever.
[16:21] ---
    I wanted to play a game with someone.
[16:26] ---
    Join me for a hand.
[16:45] ---
    Hmm, I've avoided your zigzag sword itself,
[16:50] ---
    but the disruptions in air currents
    caused by the erratically-moving blades
[16:54] ---
    make the motion of the flames
    released by them impossible to read.
[17:04] ---
    "Zigzag La Bamba Bomber"
[17:04] ---
    Zigzag La Bamba Bomber!
[17:11] ---
    I'm not going to make this easy on you.
[17:17] ---
    You loser.
[17:19] ---
    I'm going to keep torturing you
    until you use up all your cards.
[17:25] ---
    Or would you rather
    back out of the game, instead?
[17:42] ---
    Game hell, you idiot.
    You know I didn't come here to play.
[17:49] ---
    You're the one who said it.
[17:52] ---
    This is a deathmatch.
[17:57] ---
    The lone wolf driven from the pack
[18:00] ---
    has been sharpening his fangs
    to claim the head of the hated alpha.
[18:05] ---
    I am always alone.
[18:15] ---
    52...
[18:17] ---
    With a deck of 52 cards,
    I will take your life.
[18:25] ---
    Keep counting until your life is at an end!
[18:30] ---
    How many hands are left now?!
[18:40] ---
    Those of us in the collective
    have the strength of unity.
[18:44] ---
    Even though we may split up,
    we will always return to become one again.
[18:49] ---
    The individual simply falls where he stands.
[18:52] ---
    You are the one who should be counting, 52.
[18:57] ---
    How many cards left
    before your life is at an end?
[19:04] ---
    You've lost more of your cards, 52.
[19:07] ---
    It looks as though you only have
    a few cards remaining.
[19:12] ---
    You may have thought
    you left the group to obtain freedom,
[19:17] ---
    but you are just a weakling,
    who could not live among our collective.
[19:22] ---
    Once a loser, always a loser.
[19:25] ---
    And a loser that leaves the collective
    can never achieve victory.
[19:33] ---
    I am the one who trained you.
    I know everything up your sleeve.
[19:39] ---
    How many cards left now?
[19:42] ---
    Two of them.
[19:44] ---
    When you've used your last card,
    I will finish you off.
[19:47] ---
    How does it feel to know that
    certain death is approaching?
[20:11] ---
    You've lost your final
    card. Time to kill you.

    What's the matter? Why?
[20:50] ---
    Why did you think I was all alone?
[20:55] ---
    Answer that, you piece of crap!
[21:01] ---
    This smoke from these leaves
    has a psychedelic effect.
[21:05] ---
    I made friends with someone who was
    good at making some pretty nasty stuff.
[21:10] ---
    It doesn't affect my plus-one here,
    so I felt free to use it.
[21:16] ---
    How long has--
[21:23] ---
    What's the matter? Go ahead and
    make yourself whole again.
[21:27] ---
    You always become one again
    after splitting up, don't you?
[21:30] ---
    52, you rotten...!
[21:35] ---
    I don't have just 52 cards anymore.
[21:55] ---
    I can't afford to use my trump card
    on a loser who only hangs with his pack.
[22:05] ---
    Isn't that right?
    Not if I'm going to defeat you.

[00:19] ---
    Sure enough, if I'm going to
    get those scriptures,
[00:23] ---
    I'm going to have to defeat you first, aren't I?
[00:27] ---
    You kept yourself quiet
    and out of sight all this time,
[00:30] ---
    but now you've taken some rather bold action.
[00:34] ---
    I couldn't stand having the truth
    being hidden any longer.
[00:42] ---
    Bring it.
[00:56] ---
    Everything I've had, I've lost,
[00:59] ---
    but I won't let go of this remaining spark
[01:03] ---
    No, I won't let it go, not ever
[01:07] ---
    Though there may be no right answers
    in my ill-defined tale,
[01:12] ---
    once I'm able to step forward...
[01:17] ---
    They say something's wrong with me,
    but I'll do something with them
[01:22] ---
    I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be
[01:27] ---
    But if my dreams have
    resolved themselves to be by your side
[01:33] ---
    then there's nothing left
    for me to doubt anymore
[01:38] ---
    Sparks fly as things kick off
[01:41] ---
    until "black and white" turns to ashen gray
[01:43] ---
    If there's a choice crown to be had
[01:46] ---
    I want it, I want it
[01:49] ---
    I'll whizz my way toward you
[01:51] ---
    until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out
[01:54] ---
    If the clowns are melancholy
[01:57] ---
    then nothing will get anywhere
[02:00] ---
    I'll show you a love that
    burns hot enough to scorch ashes
[02:05] ---
    I just spark again
[02:13] ---
    "Episode 13:
    A Pair of One-Eyes"
[02:22] ---
    I'll take a piece of that fight.
[02:26] ---
    Sounds interesting.
[02:28] ---
    Captain Shinmon...
[02:32] ---
    What's the matter? Are we doing this?
[02:39] ---
    This is no time for us to be quarreling.
    Let me hear what you have to say.
[02:42] ---
    Hey!
[02:44] ---
    Don't go looking at Mr. Almighty here
    and lose your nerve.
[02:47] ---
    I've always thought that among all the captains,
[02:49] ---
    you're one who would give me a run for my money.
[02:53] ---
    Apparently Haijima has
    a real piece of work, too.
[02:57] ---
    If you're not going to fight,
    then why are you here?
[03:02] ---
    You're here looking for
    Holy Sol Temple secrets, right?
[03:06] ---
    I'm here to give you some leads.
[03:08] ---
    Leads?
[03:10] ---
    I don't understand what's happening.
[03:12] ---
    What is the captain of the 1st doing here?
[03:15] ---
    For that matter, you two know each other?
[03:18] ---
    Burns was someone who acted as a liaison
[03:20] ---
    between the Holy Sol Temple's
    public and private faces.
[03:24] ---
    He used to look after me a lot once upon a time.
[03:28] ---
    At least until the time we had our Adolla Link.
[03:32] ---
    Adolla Link? Shinra from the 8th
    mentioned the same thing.
[03:37] ---
    It happened when there was
    a mass outbreak of Infernals at Amaterasu.
[03:41] ---
    There was an incident at Amaterasu?
[03:43] ---
    I never heard of anything as major as that.
[03:46] ---
    Of course not. Amaterasu has to be seen as safe.
[03:52] ---
    This isn't something that could be made public.
[03:55] ---
    Which is exactly the reason why
    pariahs like us were called in.
[04:03] ---
    There's one left.
[04:05] ---
    The other Shadows will have
    taken down all the others.
[04:08] ---
    The target is in there.
[04:11] ---
    There it is.
[04:15] ---
    I'll take it.
[04:17] ---
    Wait. Something's off.
[04:19] ---
    Not a problem!
[04:38] ---
    Burns, what's going on in the outside world?
[04:42] ---
    Human combustion is still happening, right?
[04:44] ---
    Yes, it is. Infernals are still popping up.
[04:49] ---
    So it sucks both on the surface,
    and in the Nether.
[04:53] ---
    The world is filled with sorrow,
    and seeks the salvation of Sol.
[04:57] ---
    So simply turning to God in prayer will save it?
[05:02] ---
    No, I don't want to rely on anything,
    nor am I seeking salvation.
[05:08] ---
    I'm looking for something
    more clear-cut than that.
[05:11] ---
    The ill will of this world...
[05:12] ---
    Religion... Government...
[05:16] ---
    Those who manipulate the goodwill
    of people to their own advantage
[05:19] ---
    lead the world to suck even more.
[05:23] ---
    I want to know what the world is.
    Why does the world suck?
[05:27] ---
    I want to see the truth!
[05:44] ---
    A higher dimension...
[05:45] ---
    The world...
[05:47] ---
    Truth...
[05:48] ---
    Laws...
[05:49] ---
    Insects...
[05:50] ---
    Mathematics...
[05:53] ---
    Hell...
[05:56] ---
    God...
[06:04] ---
    52!
[06:06] ---
    My eye!
[06:12] ---
    Are you okay, 52?!
[06:18] ---
    Was that... a hallucination?
[06:22] ---
    What did we... just see?
[06:26] ---
    That was no hallucination.
    We were pulled into a different space.
[06:34] ---
    Look at this.
[06:37] ---
    That world...
[06:40] ---
    ...actually exists!
[06:49] ---
    Do you still have that stone?
[06:51] ---
    The stone you brought back from Adolla?
[06:54] ---
    It still continues to burn inside
    an oxygen-free jar, even now.
[06:58] ---
    That higher-dimensional being we saw back then--
[07:02] ---
    the Holy Sol Temple is hiding
    something huge about that one.
[07:07] ---
    The clues to the truth you want to learn...
[07:10] ---
    ...are in here.
[07:13] ---
    Take a look through it.
[07:15] ---
    What is it?
[07:16] ---
    The notebook of the wife of Raffles I,
    founder of the Holy Sol Temple.
[07:21] ---
    His wife's notebook? I came here
    looking for hidden scriptures.
[07:26] ---
    Nothing like that exists.
[07:29] ---
    How would you know that?
[07:32] ---
    Because like you, I have looked into
    the Holy Sol Temple for a long time.
[07:38] ---
    Ever since the day of our Adolla Link.
[07:42] ---
    That world shattered all of my perceptions.
[07:45] ---
    It made me skeptical toward this world,
[07:48] ---
    and I started investigating to learn the truth.
[07:52] ---
    What I arrived at as a result
    of that investigation...
[07:55] ---
    ...is this single book.
[07:58] ---
    I used my position as captain of the 1st
[08:02] ---
    and started looking into everything.
[08:05] ---
    But there was nothing inside the church
[08:07] ---
    that connected to the Holy Sol Temple's past.
[08:13] ---
    This book...
[08:15] ---
    ...is something I stumbled upon by chance
[08:19] ---
    while investigating the forgotten Nether.
[08:23] ---
    And you say it belonged to
    the wife of Raffles I?
[08:28] ---
    The contents of the book
[08:30] ---
    are a diary from the Day of the Cataclysm
[08:32] ---
    until the Holy Sol Temple
    and empire were established.
[08:35] ---
    It has a detailed account
    of the founder, Raffles I.
[08:43] ---
    The description of the
    establishment of the Tokyo Empire
[08:47] ---
    is the same one that all of us citizens know,
    as appears in the scriptures.
[08:52] ---
    The writing says that a caravan
    centered around Raffles I
[08:55] ---
    discovered an Adolla Burst after a long journey,
[08:58] ---
    and built Amaterasu, which would
    become the core of the empire.
[09:04] ---
    So it's just like the scriptures say,
[09:06] ---
    and the Holy Sol Temple isn't hiding anything,
    is that what you're saying?
[09:09] ---
    Come off it.
[09:11] ---
    That isn't what you should be focusing on.
[09:14] ---
    It's the way Raffles I was acting,
    as seen by his wife.
[09:18] ---
    "The caravan that was traveling with Raffles
[09:22] ---
    had been completely wiped out when he returned."
[09:25] ---
    "I was happy that at least Raffles
    had returned home safely.
[09:30] ---
    But ever since he came back, he's been
    acting like he's a different person."
[09:39] ---
    "Though his appearance is unchanged,
[09:42] ---
    his mannerisms and idiosyncrasies
    have been as though he was another man.
[09:46] ---
    I can scarcely believe that he is the same man
[09:48] ---
    that I have been married to
    for 30 years," she says.
[09:53] ---
    No matter how great a shock
    he received from the experience,
[09:57] ---
    would it change his mannerisms and
    idiosyncrasies to those of another man?
[10:01] ---
    Seems like I've heard this tale before.
[10:04] ---
    Hmm?
[10:06] ---
    In Asakusa, there was someone with the ability
[10:08] ---
    to turn himself and others into
    dead ringers for other people.
[10:11] ---
    That just happened recently, though.
[10:14] ---
    We're talking 250 years ago for this.
[10:18] ---
    Infernals have no life expectancy.
[10:20] ---
    It's possible that this being,
    like the Evangelist,
[10:23] ---
    is an inhuman, higher-dimensional being.
[10:31] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple could be
    a religion that was set up
[10:36] ---
    by an inhuman being who
    had taken Raffles's place.
[10:39] ---
    Then that's all the more reason
    to tear this religion down now!
[10:44] ---
    Just a minute. Are you sure
    we can even trust that book?
[10:49] ---
    Its origins notwithstanding,
[10:51] ---
    the fact is that the Holy Sol Temple
    now offers emotional support to the people.
[10:55] ---
    Bringing it down would create chaos.
[10:58] ---
    First the caravan is wiped out,
    then Raffles I comes back changed.
[11:04] ---
    That's assuming this diary
    is accurate, like you say it is.
[11:11] ---
    Do the current Holy Sol Temple
    folks know about this?
[11:15] ---
    It's likely that the current emperor,
    Raffles III, doesn't know.
[11:20] ---
    No one knows the truth about
    what happened 250 years ago.
[11:26] ---
    Which means that even if we
    keep searching the Holy Sol Temple,
[11:29] ---
    there won't be anything
    connecting to the Evangelist.
[11:36] ---
    Huh? Yona?!
[11:42] ---
    You turned yourself into Raffles I
    and created the Holy Sol Temple?
[11:47] ---
    That's right. The Raffles I you read about
    in the scriptures was me.
[11:53] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple is a religion
    I started under the Evangelist's order.
[11:57] ---
    All to manipulate human will to our advantage,
[12:00] ---
    and lead them to Adolla.
[12:03] ---
    All by the grace of the Evangelist.
[12:08] ---
    I'll make today's little incident go away.
[12:11] ---
    Yeah.
[12:13] ---
    Though I have to say, Captain of the 7th,
[12:16] ---
    you're an even bigger tough guy than I'd heard.
[12:19] ---
    I don't know what you mean by that,
[12:22] ---
    but back in Asakusa, that's a compliment.
[12:24] ---
    Luckily, you pulled your punches some,
    so the damage was minimal.
[12:29] ---
    Moreover, they were always
    hidden in the shadows.
[12:32] ---
    And only one dead. I should be
    able to keep this an internal matter.
[12:39] ---
    But what are you going to do now?
[12:42] ---
    The truth is in the dark,
    just like the eye you lost.
[12:46] ---
    I can still see the truth with just one eye.
[12:51] ---
    Let's go, Almighty.
[12:54] ---
    There are still a whole lot of things
    I have to investigate.
[12:58] ---
    It sounds like you've decided
    what you're going to look into next.
[13:02] ---
    You could say that.
[13:04] ---
    "Haijima Industries"
[13:05] ---
    Haijima Industries.
[13:08] ---
    Since they worked with the
    Holy Sol Temple to build Amaterasu,
[13:13] ---
    there may be a connection
    to the Evangelist there.
[13:16] ---
    And you may learn who Raffles I really was.
[13:20] ---
    Still, when you say Haijima,
[13:23] ---
    they have facilities all over the empire.
[13:27] ---
    You don't know where you should be looking.
[13:30] ---
    I guess that means hitting them one at a time.
[13:34] ---
    Haijima, huh? They make
    the medicine that Konro needs,
[13:38] ---
    so I can't go breaking in there.
[13:41] ---
    You didn't consider that given the ties
    between them and the Holy Sol Temple,
[13:46] ---
    they might cut off his medicine
    after today's incident?
[13:49] ---
    Not even a little bit.
[13:52] ---
    I'll take care of that, as well.
[13:55] ---
    In return, I want you to check out Haijima.
[13:59] ---
    In my position, I can't take
    any action against Haijima.
[14:04] ---
    "Haijima Industries"
[14:06] ---
    These models lately have been
    giving us nothing but lousy results.
[14:10] ---
    That's for sure. This is a big waste of time.
[14:13] ---
    But you have that one with all S-ratings
    under your supervision, right?
[14:17] ---
    I'd sure like to trade you for that one.
[14:19] ---
    Yeah, I envy you, too. Our models
    are all worse than scrap.
[14:24] ---
    Your model is that one child, right?
[14:26] ---
    Yeah, the one Rekka Hoshimiya's Insect ignited--
[14:33] ---
    Nataku Son.
[14:47] ---
    Sleepy...
[14:48] ---
    Good morning.
[14:50] ---
    G-Good morning!
[14:58] ---
    The power source for the Chinese Peninsula's
    "Amaterasu" was a human.
[15:01] ---
    I can't believe we can't
    announce that to the public.
[15:03] ---
    'Sup, Shinra.
[15:05] ---
    'Sup, Vulcan.
[15:07] ---
    Breakfast, right?
[15:08] ---
    My latest creation is
    in the kitchen. Go try it out.
[15:11] ---
    Latest creation?
[15:12] ---
    Go and see. Give me your
    feedback after using it.
[15:17] ---
    What in the world did he make?
[15:20] ---
    "Kitchen"
[15:27] ---
    This is his latest creation?!
[15:29] ---
    Oh damn, that is some exquisite craftsmanship!
[15:32] ---
    But try it out? What am I supposed to do
    to try it out? Oh, damn...
[15:37] ---
    Oh, damn...!
[15:40] ---
    "Lisa"
[15:43] ---
    This is the new creation!
[15:45] ---
    A mixer?!
[15:47] ---
    Ow... Huh? You're the real Lisa-san?
    Why are you here at the 8th?
[15:53] ---
    I'm going to be staying here
    for a bit while I recuperate.
[15:56] ---
    Oh, sure! Lisa-san,
    you're more than welcome here!
[16:01] ---
    I'm still with the Knights of the Ashen Flame,
    under the Evangelist.
[16:05] ---
    I may betray you once again.
[16:07] ---
    As long as you're at the 8th,
    you won't ever want to.
[16:12] ---
    Your opinion right now means very little.
[16:16] ---
    But, I will be in your care for a little while.
    Let's make the most of it.
[16:21] ---
    Welcome to the 8th!
[16:23] ---
    Huh? This is Vulcan-san's newest creation?
[16:26] ---
    Wh-What happens when I...
    press these buttons sticking out here?
[16:31] ---
    You people...
[16:37] ---
    To celebrate Lisa Isarabi-kun
    getting out of the hospital,
[16:40] ---
    a toast, with protein smoothies!
[16:42] ---
    --Cheers!
    --Cheers!
[16:47] ---
    Want me to make you your own
    personal mechanical boobs?
[16:53] ---
    Say, could someone hand me a tissue?
[16:55] ---
    Stop spilling that.
[16:58] ---
    This is pretty good, and not too sweet.
    Could we make these at our place?
[17:02] ---
    I'm sure Waka would like them.
[17:04] ---
    You just blend the ingredients together.
    Anyone can make them.
[17:08] ---
    If I can ask, Lieutenant Konro,
    what brings you by so early?
[17:12] ---
    The lieutenant is here to
    report on an investigation
[17:15] ---
    that Captain Benimaru conducted
    on the Holy Sol Temple.
[17:18] ---
    It wasn't so much an investigation
    as a throw-down at the Imperial Seat.
[17:23] ---
    A throw-down?!
[17:24] ---
    Mm-hmm, together with
    a suspicious man named Joker.
[17:28] ---
    Captain Shinmon... and Joker?
[17:32] ---
    Why was this, now?
[17:43] ---
    Huh?
[17:44] ---
    The notebook of Raffles I's wife?
[17:46] ---
    You're telling us that Raffles I,
    the one who founded the Holy Sol Temple,
[17:50] ---
    was an imposter who had taken his place?
[17:52] ---
    And that the current Holy Sol Temple
    doesn't know anything about it?
[17:57] ---
    If so, then there's no sense in delving
    into the Holy Sol Temple anymore.
[18:01] ---
    There's plenty of room to question
    just how reliable this information is.
[18:06] ---
    Excuse me.
[18:07] ---
    If I may?
[18:08] ---
    Sure.
[18:10] ---
    You may not believe what I say,
[18:14] ---
    but there was no sign of the Evangelist
    having any connection with the Holy Sol Temple.
[18:18] ---
    Also--
[18:24] ---
    Thank you for saying that.
    You don't have to push yourself.
[18:28] ---
    Let's go on out for a bit.
[18:34] ---
    Excuse me. I'm going to go take her to her room.
[18:36] ---
    Thanks.
[18:40] ---
    It seems more likely that Haijima,
    where Dr. Giovanni was,
[18:42] ---
    has some kind of connection to the Evangelist.
[18:45] ---
    But it will be difficult to investigate Haijima.
[18:49] ---
    What are you talking about?
    We just need to charge in there,
[18:51] ---
    like Benimaru, and bowl them over.
[18:53] ---
    That would be too dangerous!
[18:55] ---
    Where exactly are you planning
    to charge in, you dumb knight?!
[18:58] ---
    What have you been listening to?
    Haijima, of course, you dumb devil!
[19:02] ---
    --Die!
    --No, you die!
    --In other words, when you just say "Haijima,"
[19:03] ---
    --You die first!
    --In other words,
    when you just say "Haijima,"
[19:05] ---
    --No, you die first!
    --In other words,
    when you just say "Haijima,"
[19:06] ---
    --No, you!
    --In other words,
    when you just say "Haijima,"
[19:06] ---
    --No, you!
    --the company is involved with just about
    every industry in the Tokyo Empire.
[19:07] ---
    --the company is involved with just about
    every industry in the Tokyo Empire.
[19:10] ---
    When you include its subsidiaries,
[19:12] ---
    its multiple enterprises have merged together,
    complementing each other,
[19:15] ---
    and playing a key role in
    every business concern out there.
[19:18] ---
    Take clothing for example.
    Haijima is wrapped up in everything
[19:21] ---
    from the materials needed to
    the design and production involved.
[19:25] ---
    As far as food goes,
    from contributing the raw materials,
[19:27] ---
    to providing the cookware and the storefronts,
[19:29] ---
    Haijima goods are there at every turn.
[19:32] ---
    Roughly 70% of the country's population
    works at a Haijima-related company.
[19:35] ---
    "Haijima-related: 70%"
    "All others: 30%"
[19:39] ---
    Hmm...
[19:40] ---
    Even the Fire Force is nominally
    a Haijima-related organization.
[19:45] ---
    Then am I a suspect, too?
[19:47] ---
    Getting the complete picture on
    Haijima is hard to do, given its size.
[19:51] ---
    Plus, I have no idea how
    we would investigate them.
[19:54] ---
    Who do we know that's familiar
    with Haijima's inner workings?
[20:00] ---
    Inspector Licht!
[20:03] ---
    Come to think of it,
[20:04] ---
    where is Inspector Licht?
[20:07] ---
    Apparently, he's been called in
    to none other than Haijima,
[20:09] ---
    concerning his report on the Chinese Peninsula.
[20:13] ---
    Huh?
[20:15] ---
    "Haijima Group,
    Haijima Paper Manufacturing Building"
[20:23] ---
    Hey there, Captain Hibana. Hello.
[20:26] ---
    I read your report.
[20:29] ---
    You didn't need to touch on
    Amaterasu's power source,
[20:32] ---
    or Haijima's abilities development, did you?
[20:36] ---
    That's actually the reason
    why the president called me in.
[20:40] ---
    It's usually a mystery where he is.
[20:43] ---
    You're going to get eliminated.
[20:47] ---
    I thought you were a Haijima dog,
[20:49] ---
    but then you go and bite your master's hand.
[20:52] ---
    What are you after?
[20:57] ---
    "President's Office"
[21:05] ---
    About your report...
[21:08] ---
    Your job is to be our spy inside
    Special Fire Force Company 8, right?
[21:13] ---
    "Haijima Industries President"
    "Gureo Haijima"
[21:16] ---
    Yes, and to keep watch over Shinra Kusakabe.
[21:20] ---
    Even if this power generator thing
    on the Chinese Peninsula
[21:22] ---
    did use a person possessing
    an Adolla Burst as its fuel source,
[21:26] ---
    it's groundless to assert that
    the empire's Amaterasu is the same.
[21:29] ---
    Even worse, you can't possibly
    argue that this fuel source
[21:33] ---
    and the company's charitable work
    in developing the pyrokinesis of orphans
[21:36] ---
    are in any way linked!
[21:38] ---
    It's all right.
[21:40] ---
    I asked you here today to do a job for us.
[21:45] ---
    Bring Shinra Kusakabe to our laboratory.
[21:52] ---
    All right, if you'll excuse me...
[21:59] ---
    He has an overly inquisitive mind.
[22:02] ---
    Doing away with him would be the safe play.
[22:03] ---
    Luckily, he is unpowered.
    We can pass it off as human combustion.
[22:08] ---
    And if we do it on the premises,
    covering it up will be a simple matter.
[22:12] ---
    Very well.
[22:15] ---
    Once Viktor Licht brings Shinra Kusakabe here,
[22:21] ---
    we'll kill him.
[22:23] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:37] ---
    Most incidences have their own name
[22:41] ---
    But no one knows and I'm upside down
[22:45] ---
    Billions of people exist
[22:49] ---
    But not anybody tells me what that is
[22:52] ---
    Sacrificing my limited life
[22:56] ---
    Am I moving forward or not
[23:00] ---
    I just want to believe
[23:04] ---
    Nothing goes to waste
[23:07] ---
    I question myself
[23:10] ---
    Why I can't be who I want to be
[23:12] ---
    tangled and translucent
[23:16] ---
    It drains me
[23:17] ---
    Pretending and overextending myself
[23:23] ---
    Wish one day I could love pathetic myself
[23:27] ---
    Hoping for a dazzling future to come
[23:31] ---
    Don't over decorate smile clumsily
[23:35] ---
    Just live life the way I am
[23:38] ---
    This world is cruel
[23:42] ---
    Can't choose how to be born
[23:46] ---
    Stick up the middle finger then
[23:50] ---
    Let's shoot off to the other side
[23:56] ---
    "Fire Force, Season 2"
[23:59] ---
    "Next time"
[24:02] ---
    The 8th ends up investigating
    Haijima Industries.
[24:05] ---
    The suspicious facility
    they make their way inside
[24:07] ---
    has a patently dangerous-looking man.
[24:10] ---
    Huh? Shinra-san, you know this man?
[24:14] ---
    I am ridiculously powerful against the weak.
[24:17] ---
    Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,
    episode 14, "The Ashen Reaper."

[00:04] ---
    Lisa, hand me my gauge, would you?
[00:06] ---
    Okay.
[00:07] ---
    --Here.
    --Thank you.
[00:10] ---
    Oh, are you making something new for us?
[00:13] ---
    There's no telling when the Evangelist's
    people will show up again.
[00:17] ---
    There. Lisa, that's all for today.
[00:20] ---
    Okay. If you need anything else, just call.
[00:23] ---
    Yeah.
[00:27] ---
    She's put up with a ton
    of abuse from Haijima.
[00:31] ---
    And after how Dr. Giovani hurt Lisa,
[00:34] ---
    I'm going to make damn sure
    Haijima pays for what they did.
[00:37] ---
    Yeah, let's kick their asses.
[00:43] ---
    Shinra, before you enrolled
    at the training academy,
[00:46] ---
    you were at a Haijima facility, right?
[00:48] ---
    You could be a spy!
[00:50] ---
    Oh, yeah, maybe so. I could be a spy,
    if it meant being able to assassinate you.
[00:55] ---
    So you are a spy! Come at me!
[00:57] ---
    You're coming at me, you idiot!
[01:00] ---
    Did you think you could beat
    the Knight King's sword skills?!
[01:04] ---
    You actually hit me!
[01:06] ---
    You're the one who hit me first!
[01:07] ---
    --You devil! Devil! Devil!
    --You stupid knight! Stupid knight!
[01:16] ---
    Shinra, you were once at Haijima?
[01:18] ---
    Hmm? Oh, yeah. When my abilities
    surfaced after the fire 12 years ago,
[01:24] ---
    there was a period where
    I couldn't control them very well.
[01:28] ---
    That was when...
[01:30] ---
    ...I underwent experiments at
    a Haijima pyrokinesis development institute.
[01:34] ---
    I can still remember how
    chilling it felt there.
[01:38] ---
    All the employees saw the children
    as nothing more than test subjects.
[01:41] ---
    I didn't feel the slightest bit
    of warmth from them.
[01:44] ---
    I didn't want for anything there,
    but it wasn't exactly cozy, either.
[01:47] ---
    Shinra-kun...
[01:48] ---
    Inspector Licht?!
[01:50] ---
    I have a somewhat important
    matter I need to discuss,
[01:52] ---
    so I'd like to get everyone together.
[01:54] ---
    A-All right.
[01:57] ---
    Okay.
[03:34] ---
    "Episode 14:
    The Ashen Reaper"
[03:40] ---
    So, what's this important matter
    you need to discuss?
[03:44] ---
    This is extremely hard for me to say,
[03:48] ---
    and I apologize in advance,
    but I, Viktor Licht...
[03:53] ---
    ...am a Haijima spy,
    embedded here at the 8th.
[04:02] ---
    H-Huh? You seem underwhelmed.
[04:05] ---
    Mm-hmm, we knew.
[04:08] ---
    So why speak up now?
    You were never actually posted to the 8th.
[04:13] ---
    You've always been with Haijima, right?
[04:15] ---
    Yes I have.
[04:16] ---
    Huh? Does that mean that
    Licht-san isn't one of us?
[04:19] ---
    It's okay. As you were, Sister. Mm-hmm.
[04:22] ---
    Then that will speed this along.
[04:25] ---
    My primary objective in coming to the 8th
[04:28] ---
    was to observe Shinra-*kun *Nand his Adolla Burst.
[04:32] ---
    Haijima has been looking for
    the next bearer of an Adolla Burst,
[04:35] ---
    just like the Evangelist,
[04:37] ---
    and for that reason,
    I was sent here to spy on Shinra-kun.
[04:40] ---
    But Shinra was already at Haijima, right?
[04:43] ---
    It seems like they let Shinra's Adolla Burst
    get away from them pretty easily.
[04:46] ---
    Yes, and that is what
    I would like to speak about.
[04:50] ---
    Shinra-kun, after your house burned down,
[04:52] ---
    you were taken in by a Haijima
    pyrokinesis development institute, yes?
[04:56] ---
    Yes, from when I was 5 until I was 12.
[04:59] ---
    At age 13, I enrolled at
    the Fire Force Training Academy.
[05:03] ---
    As it happens, they were researching
    Adolla Bursts at that facility.
[05:07] ---
    Nonetheless, the Haijima
    researchers there at the time
[05:11] ---
    could not identify your flame
    as being an Adolla Burst.
[05:14] ---
    Heh, lightweight.
[05:15] ---
    What's so funny?
    You're the last person to laugh.
[05:18] ---
    This is where the issue arises.
[05:21] ---
    Once they discovered the fact that
    they passed over Shinra-kun,
[05:24] ---
    the facility has gotten a lot more
    radical with their experiments,
[05:27] ---
    enough so that people are getting hurt.
[05:31] ---
    So much so that some of
    the kids will never recover.
[05:34] ---
    And the thing that triggered all this
    was letting Shinra-kun get away.
[05:37] ---
    Oh, man... Because of me?
[05:41] ---
    And now, they've finally ordered me
    to bring Shinra-kun back.
[05:45] ---
    There's no way we can
    sell out one of our crewmen.
[05:48] ---
    It's dangerous, to be sure. Haijima is
    clearly out for Shinra-kun's Adolla Burst.
[05:54] ---
    However, I think of this as being
    a chance to investigate Haijima.
[05:59] ---
    None of Haijima's people
    know the nitty-gritty
[06:01] ---
    of the pyrokinesis development
    facility, including me.
[06:04] ---
    If we agree to go in,
[06:06] ---
    we may be able to find a connection
    between the facility and the Evangelist.
[06:11] ---
    You're a Haijima spy, aren't you?!
    I'm not about to trust you so quickly!
[06:15] ---
    Hold on, Vulcan.
[06:17] ---
    If what Inspector Licht says is true,
[06:19] ---
    then I can't just leave
    the children there to suffer.
[06:23] ---
    Captain, I'm okay with this.
[06:26] ---
    What kind of hero am I
    if I can't keep children safe?
[06:29] ---
    Shinra, don't rush into any decisions.
[06:32] ---
    It's going to take three years before
    the truth about Amaterasu goes public.
[06:36] ---
    In the meantime, the Evangelist's plans
    just keep moving forward.
[06:40] ---
    There's no time for playing it slow and easy.
[06:42] ---
    I mean, Sho is still...
[06:44] ---
    Inspector Licht,
[06:45] ---
    the most important question still remains.
[06:49] ---
    Whose side are you on,
    the 8th's, or Haijima's?
[06:52] ---
    I'm on both sides.
[06:54] ---
    I'm with Haijima because
    I can research the truth.
[06:57] ---
    But right now, I'm partial to the 8th.
[06:59] ---
    The 8th seems like it's closer to the truth.
[07:05] ---
    It doesn't seem like you're
    really part of either one.
[07:09] ---
    Oh, that's a sharp observation.
[07:11] ---
    Shinra, I can't let you go to Haijima
    by yourself. It's too dangerous.
[07:17] ---
    All 8th personnel will be conducting
    an investigation of Haijima.
[07:20] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[07:22] ---
    Commence "Operation Investigate
    Haijima Industries"!
[07:25] ---
    --Roger!
    --Roger!
[07:31] ---
    Nataku-kun, we're starting a combat test.
[07:35] ---
    Kurono-kun, are you ready?
[07:49] ---
    Nataku, care to go a round
    with your Uncle Reaper?
[07:54] ---
    S-Sure.
[08:18] ---
    This will be the third combat test, huh?
[08:21] ---
    He may be an unexpected surprise
    from that earlier incident,
[08:23] ---
    but don't break him, if you please.
[08:33] ---
    Okay, you may begin.
[08:37] ---
    Okay, you have another experiment
    with your Uncle Reaper today.
[08:41] ---
    U-Uncle Reaper...
[08:45] ---
    ...when will I be able to go home?
[08:49] ---
    You recognize this grim reaper symbol, right?
[08:53] ---
    You're not going home until you're dead.
[08:56] ---
    This is your third test, too. It's about time
    I started fighting like I mean it.
[09:03] ---
    Nataku, you'll have to knuckle down, too,
    or you could go home in a coffin.
[09:09] ---
    I want you to show me your true power.
[09:14] ---
    Click!
[09:15] ---
    Fire! I know you can do it! You can do it!
[09:18] ---
    After all, you've been chosen by the Insects!
[09:21] ---
    Show them how hot-blooded you are!
[09:23] ---
    Show them how passionate you are!
[09:26] ---
    Fire!!
[09:35] ---
    I'm getting fired up!
[09:37] ---
    That's it! Fire! Click!
[09:38] ---
    "Click"
[09:44] ---
    Fire!
[09:46] ---
    Fire!!
[09:54] ---
    That's the spirit, that's the spirit!
    That's good! That's hot! Keep at it!
[09:57] ---
    Breathe in, just like that!
    Shout it out from deep inside! Waah!
[10:02] ---
    Let it out, let it out even more!
    I know you can do it! Let yourself roar!
[10:16] ---
    "Raaaah"
[10:18] ---
    Flame output rising.
    Still unable to detect an Adolla Burst.
[10:22] ---
    His mental state is growing unstable.
[10:24] ---
    From the trauma of that incident.
    What do we do, stop?
[10:28] ---
    Shinra Kusakabe is said to have
    sparked his Adolla Burst
[10:31] ---
    through actual combat and combat training.
[10:33] ---
    We continue. And if he breaks, that's that.
[10:37] ---
    It would be a shame, though.
[10:55] ---
    Come on, we're not done yet.
[11:00] ---
    This is Uncle Reaper's job, too.
[11:04] ---
    I need you to go along with this,
    or I can't work.
[11:11] ---
    It's hard enough just to watch.
    I'm surprised he can do this.
[11:14] ---
    I understand that to him,
    this is his true calling.
[11:17] ---
    He's got the skills it would take
    to fight in an actual combat unit,
[11:21] ---
    but apparently, he remains here by choice.
[11:24] ---
    Just so he can pick on children.
[11:27] ---
    His right arm is already
    carbonized from tephrosis,
[11:30] ---
    but he still seeks to destroy even more.
[11:33] ---
    He's completely around the bend, isn't he?
[11:35] ---
    But his abilities are the real deal.
[11:37] ---
    Apparently, he rivals even
    the captain of the 7th.
[11:42] ---
    Kurono-kun, that's good. That was plenty.
[12:01] ---
    Good work in there, Kurono-kun.
[12:04] ---
    Wow, I'm impressed. You don't
    feel weird about beating up kids?
[12:09] ---
    I love bullying the weak.
[12:13] ---
    The weaker they are, the less I have to
    worry about myself getting hurt.
[12:17] ---
    So that's why you're so willing to
    go along with what we adults say.
[12:22] ---
    You are really getting on my nerves now.
[12:25] ---
    Don't you know that when I say "weak,"
    that includes you?
[12:29] ---
    I am ridiculously powerful against the weak.
[12:33] ---
    Sorry about that! He didn't know!
[12:37] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[12:43] ---
    I heard that Shinra Kusakabe
    would be coming here.
[12:46] ---
    Naturally, he's going to be facing me, right?
[12:54] ---
    He's weak, after all.
[13:01] ---
    Shinra-kun, thanks for coming.
[13:03] ---
    Think nothing of it.
    When you spoke about the facility,
[13:07] ---
    it reminded me of someone who was there.
[13:10] ---
    A guy who was at the facility
    being treated for tephrosis.
[13:13] ---
    I remember how depraved he was, even now.
[13:33] ---
    --What the...? Hey, what are you doing?!
    --Hey, get away from there!
[13:37] ---
    --Behave yourself!
    --Come on, stop squirming!
[13:39] ---
    --It's no fair that only you guys are allowed.
    --Behave yourself!
    --Come on, stop squirming!
[13:41] ---
    --It's no fair that only you guys are allowed.
    --Are you listening to me?!
    --Let's go!
[13:41] ---
    --Let me play with the kids, too.
    --Are you listening to me?!
    --Let's go!
[13:48] ---
    That was probably Kurono.
    I've heard stories about him.
[13:53] ---
    "Tephrosis" "Psycho" "Relishes the weak"
    "Reaper" "Bully" "Exotic black smoke"
    "Maddest"
[13:54] ---
    Captain Shinmon of the 7th is
    well-known as being the "Mightiest,"
[13:58] ---
    but this man Kurono is said to be
    the "Maddest" pyrokinetic.
[14:07] ---
    Here we are. Does it bring back any memories?
[14:10] ---
    Huh? Was this the place?
[14:12] ---
    Oh, they do change the locations
    of their labs periodically
[14:15] ---
    to keep their information hidden.
[14:18] ---
    Which just goes to show
    how disgraceful what they're doing is.
[14:21] ---
    Let's go.
[14:24] ---
    Viktor Licht, chief researcher,
    applied pyrokinesiology lab.
[14:28] ---
    Right, we're expecting you.
[14:36] ---
    Have you noticed?
[14:37] ---
    Well, yeah. Security is
    keeping a close eye on us.
[14:44] ---
    As if to say, "You're definitely
    not getting out of here."
[14:49] ---
    Though I have to admit, I'm excited
    to get to observe such a shady facility.
[14:53] ---
    Are you sure you should be saying that
    in front of the security guard?
[14:56] ---
    I'm going to get killed here anyway, so...
[14:59] ---
    I won't let them kill you.
    I promise, I'll protect you.
[15:02] ---
    Inspector Licht, even if
    you are a Haijima spy,
[15:05] ---
    you've still saved me time and again.
[15:07] ---
    You're someone we definitely need at the 8th.
[15:12] ---
    Wow, I'm pleased to hear it.
    I can die happy now.
[15:16] ---
    No you can't.
[15:18] ---
    Did you hear what he just
    said about me, Joker?
[15:21] ---
    I may just leave you for the 8th.
[15:26] ---
    I can't let Joker be the only one
    out there risking his neck.
[15:30] ---
    I wrote that ridiculous report
    to rankle the top brass
[15:33] ---
    so I could get some dirt on Haijima.
[15:35] ---
    I'm going to exploit the good will
    of the 8th and Shinra-kun to that end
[15:40] ---
    if it means getting my hands on the truth.
[15:45] ---
    We've been expecting you. Welcome to
    the pyrokinesis development lab.
[15:48] ---
    The kids will be thrilled to see you.
[15:50] ---
    How the hell can you say that,
    when you torture kids the way you do?
[15:54] ---
    Yes, of course. You want to see
    the children right away, don't you?
[15:57] ---
    Well, come on inside.
[16:03] ---
    --How cute!
    --Amazing!
[16:06] ---
    --Hey, I want to try!
    --Me, too!
[16:09] ---
    This is how we take care of children
[16:11] ---
    who still do not know
    how to control their abilities.
[16:14] ---
    I requested that I be allowed
    to see the boy you took in
[16:17] ---
    after the Rekka Hoshimiya incident,
[16:19] ---
    but was told that I was not authorized.
[16:22] ---
    I'd like to see how he is. Is that possible?
[16:24] ---
    Oh, you must mean Nataku-kun.
[16:27] ---
    He is a special case,
    so he is not at this facility.
[16:34] ---
    Help me!
[16:36] ---
    Somebody!
[16:37] ---
    An Adolla Link!
[16:39] ---
    I want to go home!
[16:42] ---
    Are you...?
[16:47] ---
    Shinra-kun?
[16:48] ---
    Yes, an Adolla Link.
[16:51] ---
    Like hell he isn't here.
    This is where that boy is.
[16:56] ---
    They really are hiding something.
[16:59] ---
    Let's play along with them for a bit
    and see what we can uncover.
[17:13] ---
    Crewman Kusakabe, thanks for your help
    with our Adolla Burst observations.
[17:18] ---
    This will be a simulated battle test,
    if you'd be so kind.
[17:24] ---
    This cold, empty room...
[17:28] ---
    ...makes me feel like I'm having
    chills right down to my soul.
[17:31] ---
    When I think of how they're
    treating me like a lab rat,
[17:34] ---
    my humanity just melts away.
[17:36] ---
    Until nothing but my weird tic remains.
[17:48] ---
    I look forward to working with you today.
[17:52] ---
    Let's make this a fun experiment.
[17:57] ---
    I will never forget that look--
    like he's staring down his prey.
[18:01] ---
    He really is here.
[18:04] ---
    I remember you. I used to
    catch glimpses of you around here.
[18:09] ---
    I wish I could have played
    with you back then.
[18:12] ---
    Now you've become a fine man.
[18:15] ---
    I wanted to devour you when
    you were still spindly and pasty.
[18:20] ---
    Why didn't they let me have at you
    when you were a child?
[18:26] ---
    You're about the same height
    as me now, aren't you?
[18:31] ---
    Although, you still seem plenty weak.
[18:39] ---
    You have a fully grown-up strength now.
    Why can't boys just stay weak?
[18:47] ---
    Can I get started?
[18:48] ---
    Yeah. Kusakabe-kun, you, too.
[18:52] ---
    I'm going to kick that bastard's ass.
[18:57] ---
    His tephrosis is severe. Should he really
    be spreading that much black smoke?
[19:08] ---
    Right Hand Eclipse!
[19:10] ---
    "Right Hand Eclipse"
[19:16] ---
    What just happened?
    The fist he swung didn't even hit me.
[19:21] ---
    It wasn't that much of a right, either.
    Did anything touch me?
[19:26] ---
    If I had to say...
[19:28] ---
    ...it was the black smoke.
[19:31] ---
    Whatever the case, I can't deal with it
    until I know what's causing it.
[19:34] ---
    I can't just keep taking those.
    But I do have my speed. I'll use my Rapid!
[19:45] ---
    He reacted to that?!
[19:47] ---
    No, let me go again!
[19:57] ---
    How can he react to Shinra-kun's Rapid
    if this is the first time he's seeing it?
[20:03] ---
    You're abusing the children here, aren't you?
[20:06] ---
    There's no way I'll let you do that!
[20:08] ---
    Shinra-kun, show us more
    of that Adolla Burst!
[20:11] ---
    Shut up! I will! When I kick all of your asses
    on the other side of that glass!
[20:16] ---
    Th-That's terrifying.
[20:23] ---
    What the hell is that black smoke?!
[20:25] ---
    I'm not trying to hide it.
    And even once I tell you,
[20:28] ---
    there's still no way you can deal with it.
[20:31] ---
    This black smoke links with my senses,
[20:34] ---
    allowing me to sense minute fluctuations.
[20:37] ---
    That's how I reacted to your speed attacks.
[20:40] ---
    Also, knocking children around
    is fun. They get good air.
[20:47] ---
    Would you like to give it a try?
[20:49] ---
    S-Screw you!
[20:52] ---
    I'll hit him with so many chained attacks
    that he can't react!
[21:03] ---
    His firepower is increasing with every spin.
[21:04] ---
    Good! Keep it up! Keep it up!
[21:17] ---
    His smoke is solidifying!
[21:37] ---
    Eclipse Veil!
[21:38] ---
    "Eclipse Veil"
[21:48] ---
    He gathered the smoke
    together to make weapons?
[21:52] ---
    You still have some fight left, right?
[21:54] ---
    Though it would be perfect
    if you broke down after that much.
[21:58] ---
    Kurono-kun, that's all for today!
    We've collected plenty of data!
[22:06] ---
    --Hold on, what is he doing?
    --120... 130... Room temperature is rising.
[22:11] ---
    But then, the more I weaken you,
    the more I get into this.
[22:16] ---
    We'll keep going.
[22:19] ---
    I'm going to enjoy this.

[00:02] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:16] ---
    ...is death by fire.
[00:21] ---
    "Testing Area"
[00:27] ---
    Come to the special care room!
[00:29] ---
    Something unusual is happening to Nataku Son!
[00:34] ---
    I-It's hot! My right arm is hot!
[00:45] ---
    Is that...?
[00:46] ---
    Fire...!
[00:50] ---
    We're observing an Adolla Burst from
    Nataku Son in the special care room?
[00:54] ---
    Nataku Son? So he really is here.
[00:58] ---
    This is a classified matter.
[00:59] ---
    It's not something to be
    discussed with outsiders.
[01:02] ---
    --Kurono-kun, the experiment is on hold!
[01:02] ---
    --So the Sixth Pillar's
    Adolla Burst has awakened.
    --Kurono-kun, the experiment is on hold!
[01:07] ---
    Then did Shinra-kun's Adolla Burst
    end up being the trigger?
[01:15] ---
    Come in.
[01:16] ---
    Captain Obi, do you read me?
[01:19] ---
    The situation has taken a turn.
[01:26] ---
    Wha--?!
[01:27] ---
    Shinra and Licht are in trouble! Hurry, Vulcan!
[01:30] ---
    If anything happens to those two,
    you'll pay, Haijima!
[01:34] ---
    This is war, you dumb bastards!
[01:39] ---
    A Matchbox has broken through!
[01:41] ---
    We're currently tracking down whose it is!
[01:43] ---
    That was fast. I haven't even
    told them anything yet.
[03:17] ---
    "Episode 15:
    A Three-Way Melee"
[03:22] ---
    What's going on in there?!
[03:23] ---
    The temperature inside the room
    is continuing to rise.
[03:26] ---
    What are those two doing?!
[03:27] ---
    We're still reading them,
    but there's been no change.
[03:30] ---
    I won't let them kill you.
    I promise, I'll protect you.
[03:34] ---
    Inspector Licht, even if you are a Haijima spy,
[03:36] ---
    you've still saved me time and again.
[03:38] ---
    You're someone we definitely need at the 8th.
[03:42] ---
    They don't hesitate to
    risk their lives for their friends.
[03:45] ---
    So this is what the 8th is.
[03:48] ---
    It's the strangest thing.
    Maybe I've been there too long,
[03:50] ---
    --The speakers are still connected, right?
    --but they seem to be rubbing off on me.
    I'll go along with this.
[03:53] ---
    --Yes, they should still be working.
    --but they seem to be rubbing off on me.
    I'll go along with this.
[03:56] ---
    All right...
[03:57] ---
    Kurono-kun, the test is canceled!
    Head over to where Nataku-kun is!
[04:02] ---
    "Open"
    "Testing Area"
[04:07] ---
    --What are you doing?!
    --Shinra-kun,
[04:08] ---
    there's no need to play along
    with the experiment anymore!
[04:10] ---
    Let's get out of here!
[04:14] ---
    Why, you!
[04:17] ---
    I won't be outdone in a nerd fight!
[04:21] ---
    Nab him!
[04:24] ---
    Licht-san!
[04:25] ---
    Nataku Son is here after all. It sounds like
    his Adolla Burst has awakened.
[04:33] ---
    I knew they were hiding something!
[04:35] ---
    That cry for help through
    my Adolla Link was for real!
[04:38] ---
    The 8th will safeguard Nataku!
[04:47] ---
    What's all the commotion?
[04:53] ---
    The 8th has broken in! You have to
    keep Nataku-kun from them!
[04:58] ---
    The Fire Force, huh? There are probably
    some weaklings among them.
[05:04] ---
    I'm going to take on the weaker ones first.
[05:09] ---
    Where are Shinra and Licht?
[05:12] ---
    Vulcan, eyes forward.
[05:14] ---
    It's just a little doll, isn't it?
[05:16] ---
    I'll run right over it!
[05:24] ---
    Spider Wire on!
[05:36] ---
    Is everyone okay?
[05:40] ---
    What's that now?!
[05:45] ---
    Hostile object spotted. Countering with Tekkyo.
[05:51] ---
    Don't tell me that thing did all that!
[05:53] ---
    What do you mean?
[05:55] ---
    That's what flipped the Matchbox over.
[05:58] ---
    How can it be so powerful at that size?
[06:01] ---
    What the hell kind of generators
    are Haijima using?
[06:06] ---
    Ah, wait! Look at where those cables lead!
[06:13] ---
    Oh, my, what brings you here?
[06:17] ---
    I've been tasked with watching the children,
    since they're scared of Kurono,
[06:21] ---
    and now I get to teach
    the Fire Force some manners, too?
[06:26] ---
    Do you know what this angel
    belt buckle means? It means I'm a nice lady.
[06:31] ---
    Maki-san, I'll back you up!
[06:35] ---
    I'm not about to be bested by any Haijima mech!
[06:38] ---
    Dominions, let's play with
    our bigger friends now!
[06:44] ---
    Where is Nataku?!
[06:46] ---
    They said he was in the special care room.
[06:48] ---
    Secure Nataku Son at once!
[06:52] ---
    --Shinra-kun...
    --Right.
[06:54] ---
    Looks like he's that way!
[06:56] ---
    Whoa...
[07:00] ---
    You shouldn't do that to
    the nice security guards, you know.
[07:03] ---
    L-Let... Let me go!
[07:08] ---
    You're too late.
[07:11] ---
    Sputter! Flare!
[07:16] ---
    Boom!
[07:18] ---
    They got deflected?!
[07:21] ---
    One more time!
[07:24] ---
    They got fired on?!
[07:28] ---
    Hit them one more time with a Poot-Poot Blaster!
[07:31] ---
    --Poot-Poot Blaster?!
    --Poot-Poot Blaster?!
[07:36] ---
    "Pbbt"
[07:38] ---
    How lowbrow. I definitely
    don't want to get hit by that.
[07:42] ---
    Oh, the children love that one.
[07:45] ---
    Don't you Fire Soldiers,
    the heroes of children, know that?
[07:50] ---
    Dominions and I raced here
    to put smiles on the children's faces.
[07:55] ---
    Please don't spoil the children's day of fun.
[07:59] ---
    We know that you Haijima people
    mistreat the children!
[08:02] ---
    "Day of fun" my ass! Screw that!
[08:07] ---
    What's the name of that mech you made?
[08:11] ---
    What?
[08:14] ---
    I asked what their name is.
[08:16] ---
    The Twin Hover Units, Tekkyo!
[08:20] ---
    The what? Too hard to follow.
[08:21] ---
    What? What are you talking about?
[08:24] ---
    That's too hard for the children to understand.
[08:27] ---
    Hmm, let's see...
[08:31] ---
    If it were up to me, going by
    the way they look, I'd call them...
[08:35] ---
    "Caterpillies."
[08:37] ---
    That's adorable! I love it!
[08:38] ---
    No way!
[08:40] ---
    Why not?
[08:41] ---
    You're the one who said they should
    have an animal name, weren't you?
[08:44] ---
    Maki-san, you just don't get it!
[08:46] ---
    Giving a mech the name of a living thing
[08:48] ---
    helps to lend the inorganic mech
    a little more creature-istic...
[08:52] ---
    ...what do you call it? Affinity?
    That's the whole reason for the name!
[08:56] ---
    But "Caterpillies" is out of the question!
    It doesn't have enough character!
[09:00] ---
    I want them to have some affinity,
    but mech has to be mech!
[09:03] ---
    The name has to have a certain detachment!
[09:04] ---
    In that sense, the iron owl,
    "Tekkyo" is the perfect name! It's cool!
[09:09] ---
    Wow, what an obnoxious otaku.
[09:11] ---
    --Mm-hmm.
    --Huh?!
[09:13] ---
    Mech is about dreams! I don't
    expect you to understand right off!
[09:16] ---
    Anyone who calls a mech "that dude"
    or "little guy" will never get it!
[09:19] ---
    And anyone who gives a mech a girly name
    like "cutie-pie" is simply a sicko!
[09:22] ---
    A big pervert!
[09:23] ---
    Where's the harm? If you give a mech
    a cute name and treat it with love,
[09:27] ---
    it's sure to respond in kind.
    If you build a relationship of trust,
[09:31] ---
    you'll find its performance to be even better.
[09:34] ---
    That's a ridiculous way of thinking, Haijima!
[09:36] ---
    You make it sound religious and gross.
[09:38] ---
    Mech will always be mech! You can't
    build a relationship of trust with them.
[09:42] ---
    There's no telling when they will
    break down and disappoint you.
[09:46] ---
    That's why you can't neglect their maintenance.
[09:48] ---
    People can disappoint you pretty easily, too.
[09:50] ---
    Yeah, which is why
    trusting in others is so necessary.
[09:54] ---
    You've got this. We're going to
    head out and rescue Shinra.
[10:00] ---
    We at the 8th will never betray each other!
[10:04] ---
    Now return our men to us!
[10:05] ---
    You two don't seem to understand.
[10:08] ---
    I don't treat mech as if they were people.
[10:12] ---
    I'm saying that mech and people
    are the same. Children especially so!
[10:17] ---
    What do you mean?!
[10:19] ---
    If you amuse children, they're entertained,
[10:22] ---
    and if you try to annoy them, they get upset.
[10:24] ---
    Their actions are predictable.
    I make them do as I please.
[10:28] ---
    Mech and children are both
    the instruments of adults.
[10:39] ---
    She swatted them away like it was nothing.
[10:41] ---
    Maki-san,
[10:42] ---
    that woman is probably
    a third generation pyrokinetic.
[10:45] ---
    I don't see any other reason
[10:47] ---
    how she gets that much power
    out of such a tiny mech.
[10:51] ---
    As long as she has the upper hand in power,
[10:53] ---
    there's no point in taking her on like this.
[10:55] ---
    But I can't let her get away with
    thinking of children as tools!
[11:02] ---
    I've collected enough data
    on their Caterpillies.
[11:05] ---
    Their power is stable and
    their firepower is fairly constant.
[11:10] ---
    You're a second generation pyrokinetic
    who can control flames.
[11:13] ---
    That means the edge in firepower
    goes to my Dominions.
[11:20] ---
    Do you have any ideas here?
[11:21] ---
    Let's put everything into
    a maximum-power shot with both Tekkyo!
[11:26] ---
    I believe in you, Vulcan.
[11:28] ---
    Dominions and I have this in the bag.
[11:33] ---
    My goodness, there they go, running away.
[11:40] ---
    Tekkyo switching to Fire Scene Mode!
[11:46] ---
    Charge superthermal power!
[11:49] ---
    Jet throttle circuits online.
    Release of all ports complete!
[11:54] ---
    Sanchin-style launch stance ready!
[11:57] ---
    Twin unit coordinates locked!
    Engaging maximum output!
[12:02] ---
    Maximum thrust in three... two... one...
[12:07] ---
    Judging by this data and configuration,
[12:09] ---
    I can pretty well guess their critical power.
[12:12] ---
    And sure enough, Dominions and I
    are still home free!
[12:16] ---
    In all my time watching children,
    I've never once been surprised,
[12:20] ---
    and you two are just like my children--
    you're absolutely predictable.
[12:24] ---
    Dominions, get set with a Poot-Poot!
[12:28] ---
    Critical power reached! Let's do this!
[12:32] ---
    Tekkyo, maximum output!
[12:35] ---
    90... 100... Better than I expected,
    but still not good enough.
[12:41] ---
    Violent-but-Deadly Poot-Poot Blaster!
[12:49] ---
    That's it! Keep on coming, and get blown away!
[12:55] ---
    Sputter! Flare! Hang in there!
[13:07] ---
    Power output 100... 110... 120...
[13:11] ---
    It's still climbing?
[13:14] ---
    150?!
[13:16] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
[13:17] ---
    It's not a mech you're facing; it's people!
[13:22] ---
    I can't let Vulcan's mech lose.
[13:31] ---
    Where was that mech hiding that much power?
[13:35] ---
    That was awesome, Maki-san!
[13:38] ---
    Tekkyo, you did well, too!
[13:41] ---
    If you had lost, you both
    would have been blown away.
[13:43] ---
    I can't believe you would fight so recklessly.
[13:46] ---
    Are you saying you figured on
    things turning out like this?
[13:50] ---
    We didn't figure on anything. It was trust.
[13:53] ---
    Yeah, she's right. Going by
    the numbers, it was impossible.
[13:57] ---
    But I trusted that when Maki-san gets fired up,
[13:58] ---
    she can deliver performance
    beyond the numbers!
[14:01] ---
    I also believed in your plan
    and the Tekkyo, Vulcan.
[14:09] ---
    Wow... I'm a little bit surprised.
[14:15] ---
    Let's catch up to the others.
[14:16] ---
    Right. Let's hurry.
[14:21] ---
    Just a second! Playtime isn't over yet!
[14:28] ---
    What makes you think you've beat me?
[14:35] ---
    You're kidding, right?
[14:36] ---
    We had that much trouble with just one of them!
[14:40] ---
    Why did you think it was just one?
[14:43] ---
    I told you, their name is Dominions, right?
[14:56] ---
    Licht, where are you?
[14:58] ---
    Licht, come in!
[15:01] ---
    We're in the special care room.
[15:05] ---
    Currently engaging Haijima staff in combat.
[15:07] ---
    What does the building look like?
[15:09] ---
    I'm sorry, but the thing is...
[15:13] ---
    ...visibility is poor...
[15:15] ---
    Visibility is poor?
[15:16] ---
    Northwest from the...
[15:19] ---
    ...gate...
[15:23] ---
    Shinra! Licht!
[15:27] ---
    Black smoke?
[15:28] ---
    Licht-san, keep back!
[15:30] ---
    Out of my way. Let me at
    the weak-looking guy behind you.
[15:36] ---
    Captain!
[15:38] ---
    Licht-san, go join the captain.
[15:47] ---
    Shinra, Licht, are you both okay?
[15:49] ---
    Captain, we found Nataku, but he's
    being safeguarded by Haijima staff.
[15:56] ---
    So you're crewmen from the 8th?
[15:57] ---
    Let me go! I haven't done anything!
[16:03] ---
    Not doing anything won't cut it!
    Unless you get fired up, it won't... cut... it!
[16:10] ---
    You've got this! I know you do!
[16:12] ---
    Your child abuse is
    clear to see! Let the boy go!
[16:17] ---
    Abuse, maybe, but it's my job.
[16:21] ---
    Iris, keep back!
[16:26] ---
    So the Fire Force has weaklings
    like that in their ranks?
[16:34] ---
    --What was that?!
    --Iris, don't inhale it!
[16:38] ---
    Captain Guard!
[16:43] ---
    Trying to protect the weak is a waste of time.
[16:46] ---
    Don't you have any shame?!
[16:49] ---
    "Spare the strong and quash the weak."
    "Let the world be as such."
[16:54] ---
    That is my thinking.
[16:57] ---
    Everyone is right here.
[17:00] ---
    Just as I predicted, Sixth Pillar located!
[17:05] ---
    There he is.
[17:06] ---
    Which one's the Sixth Pillar?
[17:08] ---
    Charon, what are you doing here?
    Shouldn't you be with Haumea?
[17:12] ---
    I really am supposed to be, actually.
[17:15] ---
    Pillars and their protectors are a set.
[17:18] ---
    But Haumea got too annoyed at me,
    and told me to get lost.
[17:24] ---
    Yeah, I get that. I went through
    a period like that with my father.
[17:29] ---
    Come to think of it, he died during that period.
[17:31] ---
    Do all girls your age go through
    this sort of thing? Well, shoot.
[17:37] ---
    That doesn't mean you had to
    come with me, though.
[17:39] ---
    You could have just been quiet and stood by.
[17:42] ---
    Inca, are you treating me like a pest, too?
[17:45] ---
    Yes she is, Charon-san.
[17:47] ---
    I am here to keep Miss Inca safe.
[17:51] ---
    Me, her protector maid.
[17:54] ---
    We're both protectors here, so let's just
    get along and guard the Pillar, Ritsu.
[17:58] ---
    Silence, Char-oaf.
    Only my master gives me orders.
[18:02] ---
    Ch-Char-oaf?!
[18:04] ---
    Fine. Ritsu, you take Inca.
    Which one is the next Pillar?
[18:09] ---
    The kid being carried in that guy's arm.
[18:15] ---
    Things are about to get fun again.
[18:18] ---
    Let's recover him.
[18:21] ---
    Stop treating him so rough!
[18:24] ---
    I'm warning you--you stronger ones,
    leave the weak here and go!
[18:33] ---
    Not you!
[18:34] ---
    The Sixth Pillar is ours!
[18:40] ---
    No reaction?
[18:44] ---
    CLAP!
[18:46] ---
    --Grab the Sixth Pillar!
    --Right!
[18:47] ---
    Wah! L-Let go of me!
[18:50] ---
    H-Help!
[18:51] ---
    The White-Clad, here?
[18:55] ---
    And a body that blades can't hurt?
[18:59] ---
    What exactly is going on here?
[19:00] ---
    There you are again, Charon!
[19:02] ---
    We meet again, fire-rat.
    I'm here for the Sixth Pillar.
[19:07] ---
    How did you know there would
    be an Adolla Burst here?!
[19:11] ---
    Don't tell me it was Inca!
[19:13] ---
    Hello!
[19:14] ---
    You!
[19:15] ---
    Let's watch a whole bunch of
    people die again together!
[19:18] ---
    It's dangerous to stand that far forward.
[19:21] ---
    Ritsu, you worry too much.
[19:24] ---
    It doesn't do any good
    to worry over such little things.
[19:35] ---
    There, you see?
    There's danger all over the place.
[19:42] ---
    How are we supposed to
    take on this many of them?
[19:44] ---
    All we can really do now is run.
[19:47] ---
    Oh, don't be like that. Let's enjoy
    this puppet show together.
[19:53] ---
    Wow!
[19:57] ---
    Ah! Look what you did to my Dominions!
[20:00] ---
    Haijima-made stuff sure is fragile, huh?
[20:03] ---
    If I could have sniped them from a distance,
[20:05] ---
    we wouldn't have had to expose you
    to danger by coming so close.
[20:09] ---
    Today, you're protecting me
    instead of our precious Sho-kun,
[20:13] ---
    Arrow.
[20:15] ---
    White-Clad?
[20:17] ---
    That electricity-user is bad news.
[20:19] ---
    We need to get Arthur,
    or it will get ugly for us.
[20:25] ---
    Well, shucks. She destroyed them
    like it was child's play.
[20:29] ---
    And in the middle of a children's play, too.
[20:31] ---
    We've come for Nataku, the Sixth Pillar.
    We won't let anyone stand in our way.
[20:36] ---
    That's why I took those things
    out ahead of time.
[20:39] ---
    It's a very big no-no
    to break other people's things.
[20:42] ---
    You're a naughty little girl.
[20:45] ---
    O-ho, I think the old biddy is about to snap.
[20:48] ---
    Arrow, you say something to zing her, too.
[20:51] ---
    I'll handle things here.
    Vulcan, you go get Arthur.
[20:56] ---
    I'll leave the Tekkyo here.
[20:58] ---
    It's going to take a little more time
    to cool down before they can restart.
[21:07] ---
    It looks like playtime is at an end.
[21:11] ---
    This calls for some painful discipline.
[21:15] ---
    Come on, punisher Dominion!
[22:21] ---
    It's stretched out all over!
[22:24] ---
    "To be continued"

[24:02] ---
    As the battle between the 8th,
    Haijima, and the White-Clad unfolds,
[24:06] ---
    Ritsu's ability places Nataku-san
    in a dire situation.
[24:09] ---
    Isn't this a little bit too dangerous?
[24:13] ---
    Time for a new job.
[24:17] ---

[00:04] ---
    It's stretched out all over!
[00:11] ---
    If the White-Clad are here,
[00:13] ---
    then their objective is probably
    to secure the Adolla Burst.
[00:17] ---
    If so, then is the best course of action
    to team up with Haijima,
[00:20] ---
    and get out of this three-way battle situation?
[00:25] ---
    I'll punish you on Sol's behalf!
[00:49] ---
    Oh? That didn't work?
[00:51] ---
    What, you mean it's insulated?
[00:56] ---
    Haumea, get back.
[00:58] ---
    Tch, you keep out of this!
[01:10] ---
    This... is too much.
[01:13] ---
    If I don't maintain some space,
    she has the upper hand.
[01:16] ---
    But she's matching me
    step for step; I can't shake her!
[01:19] ---
    Not only am I not outdistancing her,
    she's overtaking--
[01:24] ---
    What are you doing, Arrow?!
    You are seriously pathetic!
[01:32] ---
    --Sorry.
    --And you call yourself a protector?
[01:35] ---
    Usually, the pillar-protector buddy system
    goes Commander Sho and me,
[01:39] ---
    and Charon and you, Haumea.
[01:41] ---
    We were paired up on the premise
    that we were good matches for each other,
[01:45] ---
    and breaking that up is why we are out of sync--
[01:52] ---
    I'll give you a full-body vibrating massage,
    so let's be friends!
[01:59] ---
    It looks like electricity is
    coursing through her whole body.
[02:03] ---
    If we get close to them, we'll get shocked.
[02:07] ---
    I don't want to hear any of your excuses, Arrow.
[02:11] ---
    Protect me right, or I'll kill you.
[02:15] ---
    How nice!
[02:16] ---
    My generator is getting all warmed up.
    It's going to be worth punishing you!
[02:22] ---
    Charon will be capturing
    the Sixth Pillar any minute.
[02:25] ---
    Arrow, stop standing there looking moody.
[02:29] ---
    Let's go nuts on them!
[02:32] ---
    If that plasma lady uses
    her toxic EM waves, it's all over!
[02:36] ---
    The plasma density in this whole area
    is rising. I have to hurry!
[02:40] ---
    Arthur! Where are you?!
[02:43] ---
    WALK!
[02:47] ---
    SNAP!
[02:51] ---
    Where's Nataku?!
[02:53] ---
    --Let me go!
    --Stop squirming!
[02:57] ---
    That's right, the kid's over there.
    You bad guys fight over him!
[03:01] ---
    You're coming here?!
[03:05] ---
    Out of my way.
[03:07] ---
    Let me take care of those
    weak-looking ones first.
[03:10] ---
    Don't you care about Nataku?!
[03:13] ---
    I already told you, where possible,
    I like to fight the weak.
[03:23] ---
    CLAP!
[03:26] ---
    This is a hell of a situation! Shinra!
[03:29] ---
    Get Nataku!
[03:30] ---
    Yes, sir!
[03:31] ---
    Let's get going.
[03:32] ---
    You aren't getting away!
[03:37] ---
    What do we do? Should we get in there, too?
[03:40] ---
    No, just wait, Ritsu.
    Someone will die before long.
[03:44] ---
    You won't lack for raw materials.
[03:47] ---
    Thanks to your power, Miss Inca,
    I can use my ability all I like.
[03:54] ---
    Danger, danger, danger will
    get you killed. Show them, Ritsu...
[04:02] ---
    ...the spell that lets you toy with people.
[05:37] ---
    "Episode 16:
    Mind Blown"
[05:45] ---
    Damn...
[05:51] ---
    You are quite the pain-in-the-ass opponent.
[05:55] ---
    --Aren't there any other,
    more reasonable opponents?
[05:57] ---
    --Let me go! Let me go!
    --Aren't there any other,
    more reasonable opponents?
[06:03] ---
    What is this black smoke?
[06:05] ---
    "Soul Eclipse"
[06:09] ---
    --I feel hot all over...!
    --Wah! Too hot! Too hot!
[06:17] ---
    Burn from the inside out
    with my superheated soot.
[06:24] ---
    Nice weakness.
[06:35] ---
    Secured!
[06:37] ---
    You have nothing to worry about now, Nataku-kun!
[06:38] ---
    "S--"
[06:39] ---
    "Snatch!"
[06:40] ---
    Sixth Pillar, you are not to leave me.
[06:46] ---
    That's an educational bear.
    The boy belongs to Haijima.
[06:51] ---
    A bear?!
[06:53] ---
    --Got him!
    --Got him!
[06:54] ---
    Don't get in the way, Arthur! I've got him!
[06:57] ---
    Shut up, Devil! You're gonna scare the kid!
[07:04] ---
    Rebound!
[07:10] ---
    That's a foul!
[07:11] ---
    Come on! Hey, hey!
[07:16] ---
    --Press him! Like we did in practice!
    --Mm-hmm, this is perfectly good raw material.
[07:18] ---
    --We just need to get one sure basket!
    --Mm-hmm, this is perfectly good raw material.
[07:21] ---
    Now I just need an Infernal for the base.
[07:27] ---
    There's the perfect person for the job.
[07:32] ---
    I'm going to make you bigger.
[07:37] ---
    An Infernal?!
[07:43] ---
    Necro Pyro.
[07:50] ---
    "Necro Pyro"
[07:53] ---
    She's raising those bodies?!
[07:54] ---
    That is one nasty power.
[08:04] ---
    The corpses are attacking the Infernal!
[08:06] ---
    Oh, God!
[08:12] ---
    Come, come, great flaming one.
[08:25] ---
    I-It's a...
[08:27] ---
    ...giant Infernal!
[08:30] ---
    That Infernal that appeared back in Ueno--
[08:34] ---
    that was due to this woman's ability?
[08:36] ---
    She's making playthings
    of those people's bodies!
[08:39] ---
    This one has a fighter as its base,
[08:41] ---
    so it's a lot stronger than
    that earlier, misbegotten one.
[08:50] ---
    Yes, Kurono.
[08:53] ---
    Mr. President!
[08:54] ---
    Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I was
    focusing on the weaker ones...
[09:00] ---
    Idiot? Me? Yes, sir.
[09:05] ---
    The boy with the Adolla Burst has been
    incorporated into a giant Infernal--
[09:10] ---
    Well, yes, sir. Which is why
    I was giving priority to the weaker--
[09:15] ---
    Sir? Idiot? Do you mean me, sir?
[09:19] ---
    Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
[09:22] ---
    Understood. Goodbye, sir.
[09:32] ---
    Honestly, being a salaryman is rough.
[09:43] ---
    This is no time for
    the two of us to be quarreling.
[09:46] ---
    Let's get Nataku back.
[09:49] ---
    I'll help you.
[10:03] ---
    Hey, Arrow, you keep that
    corporal-punishment biddy occupied.
[10:06] ---
    I have business with the Sixth Pillar.
[10:10] ---
    And if you mess up this time,
    I will kill you for reals, understand?
[10:14] ---
    I understand.
[10:18] ---
    No running off without permission!
[10:23] ---
    You really are a pesky girl!
[10:28] ---
    That's him? What a lame face he has.
[10:31] ---
    I'll give you a hand,
    so let's get you even higher!
[10:42] ---
    That's right. Children are supposed to imagine.
[10:46] ---
    They imagine whatever they dream.
[10:49] ---
    Take fire! You're incredible! Try hard!
[10:54] ---
    My mental imagery... My imagination...
[11:02] ---
    My imagination... is infected...
[11:08] ---
    The madman inside me is stoking me up.
[11:14] ---
    My stars!
[11:16] ---
    My hopes are up,
[11:18] ---
    while my feelings are down.
[11:21] ---
    The madman is stoking me from the bottom upward.
[11:26] ---
    Upward, upward...
    together with the thick smoke...
[11:31] ---
    ...heading toward my hopes...
[11:34] ---
    --My hopes are up...
    --That's it! That's it! That's so it!
[11:38] ---
    --Is that true, though?
    --Keep going higher! I know you can do it!
[11:40] ---
    --The smoke I'm heading into
    makes it so hard to breathe.
    --Keep going higher! I know you can do it!
[11:42] ---
    --The smoke I'm heading into
    makes it so hard to breathe.
    --Just keep it up!
[11:44] ---
    --My hopes are up...
    --That's it! That's it! That's so it!
[11:46] ---
    --...while my feelings are down...
    --That's it! That's it! That's so it!
[11:47] ---
    --...while my feelings are down...
    --Keep going higher! I know you can do it!
[11:49] ---
    --I'm about to suffocate...
    --Keep going higher! I know you can do it!
[11:50] ---
    --I'm about to suffocate...
    --Keep doing what you're doing! Keep at it!
[11:51] ---
    --Keep doing what you're doing! Keep at it!
[11:51] ---
    --I'm about to suffocate...
    --Keep doing what you're doing! Keep at it!
[11:53] ---
    --I'll be waiting for you!
[11:54] ---
    --I'm really about to suffocate...
    --I'll be waiting for you!
[12:01] ---
    I'm going to suffocate...
[12:04] ---
    ...on my infected imagination...
[12:16] ---
    You all can suffocate together with my hopes!
[12:24] ---
    What's suddenly come over him?
    Has he lost his mind?
[12:29] ---
    Haumea, you did something, didn't you?
[12:36] ---
    "Motor Head."
[12:37] ---
    I goosed the amount of dopamine
    and beta-endorphins his brain produces
[12:41] ---
    to provoke a little pressure and excitement.
[12:44] ---
    He's already predisposed to it.
    This won't break anything.
[12:49] ---
    The "Infected Imagination" he has
[12:51] ---
    is a manifestation of
    the pressure he's always felt.
[12:54] ---
    All of you, suffocate!
[13:00] ---
    "Infected Imagination"
[13:17] ---
    Hey, man, are you kidding me?!
[13:20] ---
    Captain, this is bad!
    Get away from there, right now!
[13:24] ---
    Is that you, Vulcan?! What's wrong?!
[13:27] ---
    Radiation readings are climbing above baseline.
[13:29] ---
    Those of you who are unpowered should evacuate!
[13:32] ---
    Sister, Licht, you're with me!
[13:34] ---
    That shock lady has gone and done something!
[13:37] ---
    We need Arthur to counter her!
[13:38] ---
    As soon as I pick up Arthur, I'm heading to you!
[13:41] ---
    Arthur! Arthur, where are you?!
[13:45] ---
    High-ho Silver!
[13:47] ---
    Fine, I'm Silver. We need your help!
[13:53] ---
    How far away should we be
    from the radiation source?
[13:56] ---
    Unpowered people should still be all right
    if they keep 200 meters away.
[14:01] ---
    But the pyrokinetics who are fighting
    in all that are in incredible danger.
[14:11] ---
    The source of the radiation
    is a third generation's ability.
[14:15] ---
    Those of us who are pyrokinetics
    should still be okay.
[14:19] ---
    But even so, if the radiation keeps
    getting stronger, we'll be in danger!
[14:23] ---
    Ritsu, what happened to your giant?
[14:26] ---
    Miss Inca, it's too dangerous
    for you to come down here.
[14:30] ---
    There's no way it can hit me.
[14:33] ---
    Haumea tampered with the Sixth Pillar's brain.
[14:36] ---
    Those heat rays appear to be radioactive.
[14:39] ---
    Radiation? That's bad news.
[14:42] ---
    So Miss Inca, you should--
[14:43] ---
    Oh, you'll die if you stay there.
[14:45] ---
    Huh? Really?
[14:50] ---
    --How are we supposed to
    retrieve the Sixth Pillar like this?
[14:53] ---
    --Holy cow!
    --How are we supposed to
    retrieve the Sixth Pillar like this?
[14:55] ---
    That was fantastic, Haumea-chan!
[14:57] ---
    Damn that Haumea,
    wreaking havoc unnecessarily...
[15:01] ---
    That giant Infernal is suddenly
    tearing the place up.
[15:06] ---
    Kurono, we have to stop Nataku!
[15:09] ---
    I don't see any other way. We'll kill him.
[15:12] ---
    You'd kill a pyrokinetic
    that's vital to Haijima?!
[15:15] ---
    --You call yourself a Haijima employee?!
    --Who're you, my boss?
[15:17] ---
    Stop thinking only about hurting others,
    and start thinking about your job!
[15:21] ---
    Who're you, my boss?
[15:22] ---
    We'll destroy the giant parts,
    and pluck Nataku out of there.
[15:25] ---
    Let's go!
[15:31] ---
    It's hard!
[15:40] ---
    Kurono! I'll draw the lasers away
    and create a window for you!
[15:44] ---
    You go and--
[15:53] ---
    That's strong.
[15:57] ---
    It's gotten too strong.
[16:03] ---
    Time for a new job.
[16:06] ---
    --Seriously, why does it have to be so strong?
[16:07] ---
    --Hey! What are you waiting for?!
    I thought you were going to help!
    --Seriously, why does it have to be so strong?
[16:10] ---
    --Hey! What are you waiting for?!
    I thought you were going to help!
    --Weaker is so much better.
[16:14] ---
    Oh, crap!
[16:27] ---
    Charon!
[16:28] ---
    It's my calling to protect the Pillars!
[16:32] ---
    So I'll protect you.
[16:40] ---
    I'll cover you.
[16:42] ---
    You use your speed to get close
    and pull the Sixth Pillar out of there!
[16:45] ---
    I don't need you protecting me to do that!
[16:48] ---
    Men are still little boys at heart,
[16:52] ---
    so why do they insist on
    getting stronger for no reason?
[16:56] ---
    You're incredible! You have
    incredible power! Let them have it!
[17:00] ---
    You can do it, you can do it!
    You can do it if you try!
[17:06] ---
    We're still all right now,
[17:08] ---
    but if the radioactive
    concentration keeps rising,
[17:10] ---
    we really will be in trouble.
[17:13] ---
    Damn, there isn't a second to spare!
[17:16] ---
    I have to hurry and get Arthur there!
[17:19] ---
    What are you having me do, and where?
[17:20] ---
    I need to you become a legendary knight.
[17:25] ---
    What did you say? A legendary knight?!
[17:30] ---
    --A knight, you say? Legendary, you say?
[17:33] ---
    --Take it easy!
    --A knight, you say? Legendary, you say?
[17:34] ---
    --Watch it! Don't thrash around!
    --Where, Vulcan?! Where are we going?!
[17:37] ---
    There's a place where you can
    become a legendary knight!
[17:40] ---
    Where is it?! Hurry up and take me there!
[17:47] ---
    Yeah! Very knightly!
[17:49] ---
    This is the top of the Matchbox.
[17:52] ---
    You're not trying to trick me again,
    like that time with Sil-burro, right?
[18:01] ---
    You make it sound so scandalous. Just trust me!
[18:06] ---
    Can you see the hole in the middle of the hatch?
[18:09] ---
    Yeah, right there.
[18:11] ---
    You're going to stick your
    Excalibur into that hole.
[18:15] ---
    You've heard the tale of the legendary knight
[18:18] ---
    who inserts his legendary sword
    into something, right?
[18:28] ---
    The tale of the sword-inserting
    legendary knight?!
[18:32] ---
    Beneath that hole is a machine
[18:34] ---
    that will take the plasma emitted
    by Arthur's Excalibur and amplify it.
[18:38] ---
    If that amplified plasma
    can disrupt the shock lady,
[18:43] ---
    we should have a pseudo-pulse attack
    that will shut out her EM waves.
[18:49] ---
    Hold on! You have it backwards!
[18:50] ---
    The legendary knight pulls
    his sword out of something!
[18:52] ---
    Tch, he knows too much about this.
[18:56] ---
    So all you have to do is stick it in first,
[18:58] ---
    and then pull it out!
[19:00] ---
    Huh? Vulcan, what are you
    talking about? Are you dense?
[19:04] ---
    You're the one who's dense!
    You're carrying a legendary sword right now!
[19:08] ---
    But you aren't pulling your sword
    out of anything!
[19:11] ---
    In other words, once you stick
    your sword in, then you can pull it out!
[19:15] ---
    Are you going to let this chance
    get away from you?!
[19:18] ---
    Oh, right... S-So what you mean is...
[19:24] ---
    ...this trinket I've been carrying around
[19:26] ---
    turns out to actually be a legendary weapon?
[19:29] ---
    Yeah, that's it!
[19:32] ---
    Trinket? Just what kind of status
    does Excalibur have in Arthur's mind?
[19:37] ---
    Arthur's mindset is so squishy,
    it's hard to get a handle on it.
[19:41] ---
    Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!
[19:44] ---
    And I'll be a legendary knight?
[19:45] ---
    --Yes!
    --I get it!
[19:47] ---
    I understand!
[19:48] ---
    Thank goodness you're so dumb!
[19:54] ---
    "Electromagnetic Pulse"
[19:55] ---
    Electromagnetic Pulse!
[19:59] ---
    "Amplification"
[20:00] ---
    Amplification!
[20:10] ---
    Those bastards! I'll bet it's that plasma user.
[20:14] ---
    Vulcan and Arthur have done it!
[20:16] ---
    This is the interference wave you mentioned?
[20:19] ---
    Arrow! My toxic EM waves have been blocked!
[20:24] ---
    We're gonna clobber the guy jamming me
    and get that kid to rampage again!
[20:28] ---
    I actually think it's better
    if she remains blocked.
[20:35] ---
    Oh, no you don't!
[20:37] ---
    But I can't activate the Tekkyo
    because of that EM pulse.
[20:43] ---
    I understand the situation. We just
    need to stop that naughty girl, right?
[20:48] ---
    Your puppet can still move?
[20:50] ---
    My Dominions run on flame, not electricity.
[20:57] ---
    There he is!
[21:03] ---
    Stay out of this!
[21:05] ---
    We've been made!
[21:06] ---
    Vulcan, I can pull it out now, right?
[21:08] ---
    Not yet! The sword you're holding
    is a legendary sword!
[21:11] ---
    They don't come out that easily!
[21:13] ---
    Oh, okay. By the way, Vulcan,
[21:17] ---
    why does the stone with the sacred
    sword in it have a driver's seat?
[21:23] ---
    What is this?! The stone shouldn't
    start moving, should it?!
[21:27] ---
    EMP intensity declining.
[21:29] ---
    Damn, Arthur's make-believe
    knighthood is starting to fade!
[21:37] ---
    Arthur! It turns out the stone
    the sword is stuck in
[21:40] ---
    is actually the back of a big snake!
    Don't get shaken off!
[21:43] ---
    A giant serpent?!
[21:45] ---
    That's right! Look closely! Extreme technique:
[21:48] ---
    Sidewinder!
[21:50] ---
    "Sidewinder"
[21:55] ---
    It sounded like something just whizzed by us.
[21:58] ---
    I missed.
[22:01] ---
    Why, you giant serpent!
[22:03] ---
    You think that you can shake off
    the Knight King Arthur,
[22:06] ---
    but you shall not!
[22:08] ---
    The legendary sacred sword will remain in place!
[22:11] ---
    Radioactive concentration still climbing.
[22:14] ---
    Shinra...
[22:16] ---
    ...do something now, while there's still time!

[00:00] ---
    Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!
[00:01] ---
    I get it! I understand!
[00:04] ---
    Thank goodness you're so dumb!
[00:07] ---
    Why, you giant serpent!
[01:56] ---
    "Episode 17:
    Boys, Be Weak"
[02:06] ---
    I will protect you. Go, fire-rat!
[02:16] ---
    Here I go! Shinrider Kick!
[02:22] ---
    Damn, that is so hard!
[02:27] ---
    Stay away from me!
[02:30] ---
    The radioactive decay isn't stopping.
[02:33] ---
    Radioactive concentration is still climbing!
[02:35] ---
    This is getting really bad, Shinra!
[02:37] ---
    Take it easy, Nataku-kun!
[02:40] ---
    Don't expect anything more out of me!
[02:46] ---
    Don't expect any more!
[02:51] ---
    Another 100! Tak-kun, you're so good.
    You always work so hard.
[02:56] ---
    Tak-kun, you're going to be
    a fine doctor, just like your father.
[03:00] ---
    I know you can do it.
    I can't wait to see your future.
[03:04] ---
    No, Mom. You always expect so much.
[03:09] ---
    I mean, that one time I got a bad grade...
[03:11] ---
    "Science"
[03:14] ---
    Augh, what am I going to tell your father?
[03:18] ---
    You aren't keeping a close
    enough watch over Nataku!
[03:20] ---
    I'm sorry, Mom.
[03:23] ---
    I promise, I'll try harder next time. So...
[03:27] ---
    You're kidding. Nataku is a third generation?
[03:32] ---
    You're going to take him in
    at a Haijima facility?
[03:35] ---
    Tak-kun, I know you can come home soon.
[03:38] ---
    There's no way that the flame's power
    can get the best of you.
[03:41] ---
    Isn't that right? You can do it, right?
[03:44] ---
    Yes, I can.
[03:46] ---
    You can do it, right?
[03:48] ---
    Yes, I can.
[03:51] ---
    All right, let's start the experiment.
[03:54] ---
    We're looking forward to
    some good results today.
[03:58] ---
    You can do it, right?
[04:00] ---
    Yes.
[04:01] ---
    I can do it, I can do it,
    I can do it, I can do it...
[04:03] ---
    --I can do it, I can do it, I can do it,
    --You can do it, you can do it, you can do it...
[04:04] ---
    "I can do it"
[04:04] ---
    --I can do it, I can do it...
    --You can do it, you can do it!
[04:08] ---
    You have a test with your Uncle Reaper today.
[04:11] ---
    You might wind up dead,
    but you can do this, right?
[04:15] ---
    Yes, I can.
[04:17] ---
    I will. Leave it to me. I know I...
[04:20] ---
    ...can do it!
[04:22] ---
    I have to. I have to become smarter.
    I have to become stronger.
[04:27] ---
    Nataku-kun...
[04:32] ---
    What was that? What did you do?
    What was that sensation?
[04:36] ---
    Nataku-kun, take it easy!
    You have to listen to me!
[04:38] ---
    Stop it! Stop looking inside me!
[04:42] ---
    Don't let yourself be carried away
    by the flames' power!
[04:44] ---
    It's all right! You're a strong boy, so--
[04:46] ---
    Yeah, that's right! That's why I can do this!
[04:49] ---
    I know I can do this! I can do it!
[04:52] ---
    The radioactive concentration just spiked!
[04:54] ---
    We're in danger! Hurry up and get to shelter!
[04:56] ---
    Hey, man, are you serious?
[04:59] ---
    That's an absurd amount of energy.
    I'm not even kidding.
[05:03] ---
    Huh?
[05:08] ---
    I can foresee what's going to happen.
    If that heat ray gets a direct hit,
[05:12] ---
    it will form a crater about
    500 kilometers across.
[05:15] ---
    There's nowhere to run
    from something like that!
[05:20] ---
    Sister, stay behind here.
[05:23] ---
    Yes, sir.
[05:24] ---
    No-- No, that won't do any good.
[05:26] ---
    It doesn't matter where we run anymore!
[05:29] ---
    Hurry up and take shelter!
[05:36] ---
    Where are we supposed to
    take shelter from that?
[05:42] ---
    I can do it! I've got this!
[05:45] ---
    I'm going to do this!
[05:48] ---
    Stop!
[05:49] ---
    I can do it! I can do this! I have the power!
[05:54] ---
    I can blow this whole city away!
[05:56] ---
    I can do anything!
[05:58] ---
    You dumbass!
[06:03] ---
    There's nothing I can do!
[06:08] ---
    I am a protector!
[06:10] ---
    Charon!
[06:15] ---
    Haumea, and Inca, and Shinra, and Nataku...
[06:20] ---
    ...cannot be lost!
[06:24] ---
    Is he...?
[06:25] ---
    Reflective force of Charon the Reflector!
[06:39] ---
    This is fun, all right!
[06:43] ---
    Whoa...
[06:47] ---
    Maybe I overdid it a little...
[06:50] ---
    Still, Pillars and their protectors
    are all about teamwork, right?
[06:54] ---
    Hang in there cleaning up my mess, Charon.
[07:04] ---
    "How to Raise Good Children"
[07:09] ---
    Haumea, I'm begging you,
    do as I tell you for once.
[07:13] ---
    Shut up, shut up, shut the hell up.
[07:16] ---
    And Charon, I can see everything
    that goes on inside your head.
[07:22] ---
    Stop thinking about me all the time!
[07:25] ---
    Ow!
[07:27] ---
    Damn... My life is flashing...
    Imagine, thinking about Haumea right now...
[07:33] ---
    What an earnest protector I am.
[07:39] ---
    Which is exactly why...!
[07:44] ---
    I will protect the Pillars or die trying!
[08:09] ---
    Are you kidding me...?
[08:27] ---
    The moon...
[08:28] ---
    Oh no...
[08:36] ---
    I can't move another muscle.
[08:39] ---
    You have to stop the Sixth Pillar.
[08:45] ---
    That was close.
[08:48] ---
    That was very close.
[08:51] ---
    I was this close to having all the weak people
    in town blown away at once.
[08:56] ---
    You nearly took them from me.
[09:05] ---
    I'll have to request some extra
    compensation from the company.
[09:10] ---
    I can do it, Kurono-san! I have to do it!
[09:27] ---
    Kurono!
[09:28] ---
    He cut through the flaming one?
[09:30] ---
    It may not be demon-level,
    but that armor is still pretty hard!
[09:32] ---
    He's strong!
[09:35] ---
    My arm!
[09:43] ---
    Don't get any stronger.
[09:48] ---
    You've disappointed me,
    Nataku. You're hopeless.
[09:52] ---
    Please don't say that!
[09:54] ---
    I can do this!
[09:57] ---
    Well enough to beat you!
    I can at least do that much!
[10:16] ---
    You can do it, right, Tak-kun?
    You're my pride and joy, after all.
[10:20] ---
    Yeah! I'll do it!
[10:22] ---
    Oh, no...
[10:23] ---
    It's all right, Mom! Don't worry!
    I can handle it! I can...!
[10:36] ---
    You can do it!
[10:37] ---
    I can...
[10:38] ---
    You can do it!
[10:39] ---
    --I can handle it...
    --You can do it! You can do it! You can do it!
[10:42] ---
    --I can...
    --You can do it!
[10:51] ---
    I have to do it!
[10:53] ---
    I have to do it...
[10:54] ---
    ...or Mom will...!
[10:57] ---
    I'm gonna do it!
[11:02] ---
    Wait, Kurono!
[11:10] ---
    Let me go, Kurono-san! This isn't
    all I've got! I know I can do better!
[11:17] ---
    Be stronger! I have to
    produce results, right?!
[11:20] ---
    Well I'm going to! I'm going to!
[11:23] ---
    No.
[11:24] ---
    Why not?! You're expecting me to
    use my Adolla Burst thingie, right?!
[11:29] ---
    Please, I know I can do it! I can do more!
[11:35] ---
    You've done enough.
[11:36] ---
    How come?!
[11:37] ---
    Don't get any stronger than this.
[11:44] ---
    Why...
[11:46] ---
    ...are you telling me that?
[11:48] ---
    I like to bully the weak.
    You're still a child, right?
[11:54] ---
    So don't go getting any stronger.
[11:57] ---
    Are you saying you can't
    expect anything from me?
[12:01] ---
    "I want to do such and such."
    "I want to be such and such."
[12:04] ---
    "I want to become such and such."
[12:06] ---
    It's out of those thoughts
    that little boys become stronger.
[12:11] ---
    What's the big rush?
[12:13] ---
    Right now, you have to hold on to
    the weakness you have--
[12:17] ---
    the kind that makes me want to bully you.
[12:20] ---
    It is a very precious and fleeting thing.
[12:26] ---
    So I want you to still stay weak.
[12:31] ---
    Nobody has ever told me
    anything like that before.
[12:36] ---
    My mom and dad had
    unreasonable expectations of me.
[12:40] ---
    Always telling me, "You can do it, Nataku."
[12:42] ---
    But when I couldn't do something,
    they expressed terrible regrets.
[12:47] ---
    I was terrified of that.
[12:50] ---
    The madman inside me
    spurs me on, ignoring how I feel.
[12:57] ---
    You are still a child.
[13:04] ---
    Is it... okay for me to be weak?
[13:08] ---
    Yeah. Weak enough for me to want to bully.
[13:16] ---
    Thank you very much.
[13:22] ---
    Radioactive concentration is dropping.
[13:26] ---
    Kurono stopped him.
[13:28] ---
    While 99% of people would look at this
    and say it's a weird relationship,
[13:34] ---
    for the remaining 1%,
    it's the best-case scenario.
[13:41] ---
    I guess that makes him
    the Sixth Pillar's protector.
[13:47] ---
    I'm exhausted. Let's leave
    the Sixth Pillar in Haijima's care,
[13:51] ---
    and pull out of here for now.
[13:55] ---
    You can stay right here
    right now. I can see...
[14:01] ---
    ...what your future holds in store.
[14:13] ---
    They retreated?
[14:27] ---
    The battle at Haijima,
    between the 8th, Haijima,
[14:29] ---
    and the White-Clad, had come to an end.
[14:34] ---
    It had left 32 people dead.
[14:36] ---
    Publicly, it was reported as
    an accident that had happened
[14:39] ---
    while performing an Adolla Burst experiment.
[14:42] ---
    It caused a huge crater on the moon,
    but for the people of earth,
[14:46] ---
    who had experienced the catastrophic
    damage of the Great Cataclysm,
[14:49] ---
    it did not cause much of a buzz.
[14:53] ---
    The children are still in the custody
    of the Haijima laboratory.
[14:58] ---
    The 8th recommended that Haijima
    cease all extreme experiments
[15:01] ---
    that had Adolla Bursts as their objective.
[15:04] ---
    But it was Kurono who had stopped Nataku.
[15:08] ---
    I couldn't do anything
    but stand there and watch.
[15:11] ---
    Kurono is completely messed up,
[15:13] ---
    but he seems to be a good partner for
    maintaining Nataku's mental balance.
[15:18] ---
    Our investigation was to try to find a link
    between Haijima and the Evangelist,
[15:22] ---
    but after seeing this attack,
    that connection has to be pretty thin.
[15:26] ---
    And so, today, myself, Licht-san,
    and the captain have been called to Haijima
[15:33] ---
    to speak about this incident.
[15:37] ---
    Come in.
[15:41] ---
    President Haijima,
[15:43] ---
    thank you for seeing us today.
[15:48] ---
    In regards to this recent incident...
[15:52] ---
    ...you all have really done it.
[15:57] ---
    You cannot survive in this nation
    with Haijima as your foe.
[16:02] ---
    Is that a threat, sir?
[16:04] ---
    I have no intention of wasting
    either of our precious time with that.
[16:08] ---
    How about we form a united front
    to counter the Evangelist?
[16:13] ---
    If you would be willing to work with Haijima,
[16:16] ---
    I would be willing to reconsider
    the order to kill Licht.
[16:21] ---
    How would Nataku be treated?
[16:23] ---
    You're the person who has
    the Adolla Burst, are you?
[16:27] ---
    If you will cooperate with our research,
[16:30] ---
    we will change the sort of experiments
    we do in the children's facilities.
[16:35] ---
    I do not think that is a bad deal at all.
[16:38] ---
    --I will even drop the charges
    against you and Licht.
[16:41] ---
    --This is a fight that you started, isn't it?
    --I will even drop the charges
    against you and Licht.
[16:44] ---
    Don't get so emotional.
[16:47] ---
    The future of the empire rests on
    the matters we are now discussing.
[16:53] ---
    I'm sure you must know
    what kind of unit the 8th is.
[16:56] ---
    We are a company that
    does internal investigations
[16:59] ---
    into matters concerning
    the Special Fire Force.
[17:02] ---
    We suspect that Haijima is
    connected to the Evangelist,
[17:06] ---
    and that you are hiding
    something about Amaterasu.
[17:08] ---
    There were non-humans involved in
    the beginning of the Holy Sol Temple.
[17:13] ---
    If these people were aligned
    with the Evangelist,
[17:16] ---
    then it would not be surprising if Haijima
    was connected to the Evangelist as well.
[17:21] ---
    Amaterasu was built by
    the Holy Sol Temple and Haijima.
[17:25] ---
    Then doesn't Haijima have
    a connection to the Evangelist?
[17:28] ---
    Did you know that there was
    someone inside Amaterasu?
[17:32] ---
    Yes, of course.
[17:34] ---
    Amaterasu operates off of a person
    that possesses an Adolla Burst.
[17:42] ---
    But so what if it does?
[17:44] ---
    We cannot shut down Amaterasu.
[17:47] ---
    The entire Tokyo Empire is built upon
    the sacrifice of one person.
[17:52] ---
    If we shut down Amaterasu,
[17:55] ---
    what will become of the people
    who live in this country?
[17:58] ---
    If the energy that supports their lives
    were to suddenly disappear,
[18:02] ---
    chaos would be inevitable.
[18:04] ---
    We were also under attack from them.
[18:08] ---
    Believe me, there is no connection
    between Haijima and the Evangelist.
[18:12] ---
    What about Dr. Giovanni,
    the former captain of the 3rd,
[18:16] ---
    for which Haijima is the parent company,
    being connected to the Evangelist?
[18:20] ---
    The matter with the 3rd is indefensible,
[18:22] ---
    but 70% of the empire's population
    works for Haijima.
[18:28] ---
    It is quite impossible to
    keep tabs on all of them.
[18:32] ---
    The Evangelist trying to
    monopolize the Adolla Bursts
[18:35] ---
    is becoming a nuisance for Haijima.
[18:38] ---
    If you have enough spare time
    to investigate us, defeat them.
[18:44] ---
    For what reason is Haijima
    seeking an Adolla Burst?
[18:48] ---
    To fuel a second Amaterasu.
[18:53] ---
    What do you take people for?! A person
    with an Adolla Burst is still a person!
[18:58] ---
    And that one person can
    save 15 million others.
[19:02] ---
    Without Amaterasu, the empire would collapse.
[19:07] ---
    You possess an Adolla Burst, right?
[19:11] ---
    If your life could save 15 million others,
[19:14] ---
    then it would be a small price to pay, yes?
[19:17] ---
    As a Fire Soldier, you
    aren't going to tell me
[19:20] ---
    that your life is more precious
    than saving others, are you?
[19:23] ---
    I would lay down my life!
[19:25] ---
    As a Fire Soldier, if I could
    give my life to save all the others...
[19:28] ---
    No, Shinra.
[19:30] ---
    Fire Soldiers' lives are not cheap.
[19:33] ---
    Fire Soldiers save the lives
    of many people by being alive.
[19:37] ---
    You may save even more than
    15 million lives if you are!
[19:44] ---
    That's why I'm going to build a power generator
    better than Amaterasu
[19:47] ---
    that doesn't require
    anyone to be sacrificed to it!
[19:50] ---
    Hold it, you!
[19:52] ---
    --Don't you worry, Shinra! There's no way
    I'm going to let you be sacrificed!
[19:57] ---
    --Vulcan...
    --Don't you worry, Shinra! There's no way
    I'm going to let you be sacrificed!
[19:58] ---
    --A member of the Joseph family
    that built Amaterasu.
    --The hell?! You want some? --Why, you!
[20:01] ---
    --What?
    --Get your hands off of me!
    --G-Get over here!
[20:02] ---
    --It's all right. Let him in.
    --Get your hands off of me!
    --G-Get over here!
[20:04] ---
    Let me go!
[20:10] ---
    You the president of Haijima?
[20:12] ---
    You said you could make a generator
    better than Amaterasu
[20:14] ---
    that doesn't require a sacrifice?
[20:17] ---
    Yeah. My dream is to
    bring the world back to life.
[20:20] ---
    We're going to need something
    more than Amaterasu to do that.
[20:23] ---
    No matter what happens,
    we are not sacrificing Shinra.
[20:27] ---
    I promise you, we will keep Shinra safe.
[20:30] ---
    Captain... Vulcan...
[20:34] ---
    Charon did say that
    the Pillars had their protectors.
[20:39] ---
    Everyone at the 8th is protecting me.
[20:43] ---
    So you say. If you can make that happen,
[20:47] ---
    then it would be a dream
    come true for us, as well.
[20:52] ---
    Haijima will back you. The 8th, as well.
[20:58] ---
    But then, are you sure you can do it?
[21:02] ---
    --Of course he can!
    --Of course I can!
[21:04] ---
    There is one condition, though.
[21:06] ---
    We are to be entitled according to
    the proportion of our investment.
[21:10] ---
    If you supply me with the goods I require,
    I don't need any rights to it.
[21:13] ---
    Not if it brings the world back around.
[21:18] ---
    Then it's settled.
[21:20] ---
    Haijima's bottom-line
    goal is to make a profit.
[21:23] ---
    But they don't have any connection
    to the Evangelist.
[21:27] ---
    So now we're in a coalition with Haijima.
[21:31] ---
    What has happened to Nataku Son?
[21:33] ---
    Nothing new. He is taking part in
    Adolla Burst experiments today, as usual.
[21:38] ---
    More of those cruel experiments?!
[21:40] ---
    We are keeping a careful
    watch over him. Rest easy.
[21:46] ---
    You've gotten so you can control
    your flame pretty well, huh?
[21:49] ---
    No, I'm still apprehensive
    without my fireproof cloak.
[21:54] ---
    It's all right. You can do this.
[21:57] ---
    --I can do this.
    --You can do this.
[22:02] ---
    Okay, it's time to play with
    your Uncle Reaper again today.
[22:08] ---
    Right.
[22:09] ---
    Don't be so tense.
    Just stay nice and weak. Please.
[22:20] ---
    Right!

[00:04] ---
    There's a fire in the Arakawa
    Shopping District's bazaar.
[00:07] ---
    The source of the fire is a single Infernal.
[00:09] ---
    There's one casualty as well--
    an employee at a fruit market.
[00:13] ---
    Understood.
[00:15] ---
    One casualty already?
[00:17] ---
    Sister, please get ready.
[00:20] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:22] ---
    Spider Net on!
[00:25] ---
    The road has been closed off.
[00:27] ---
    We're okay over here, too!
[00:34] ---
    Here it comes!
[00:39] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
[00:42] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[00:45] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[00:47] ---
    May thy soul return to the great flame of fire.
[00:52] ---
    Launching Special Extinguishing Grenade!
[01:00] ---
    Látom!
[01:07] ---
    We have finished putting her to rest.
[01:09] ---
    Sister! Is the Infernal-- Is my wife...?
[01:12] ---
    You are a member of the family?
[01:15] ---
    My wife received
    the Holy Sol Temple's salvation...
[01:19] ---
    ...and has obtained
    the mercy of Sol, hasn't she?!
[01:26] ---
    Yes. Your wife has passed on peacefully
    into the presence of the Lord.
[01:37] ---
    It means that the Holy Sol Temple's scriptures
[01:39] ---
    would be presenting
    teachings that are incorrect.
[01:42] ---
    It's possible the Evangelist and
    the Holy Sol Temple are connected?
[01:49] ---
    I mustn't dwell on such worldly thoughts.
[03:25] ---
    "Episode 18:
    The Holy Woman's Anguish"
[03:30] ---
    Let's see...
[03:31] ---
    Those flechettes, too?
[03:33] ---
    Yes, sir. That's all of it.
[03:36] ---
    We've had a lot of callouts recently,
[03:38] ---
    so our unbaptized equipment
    is starting to pile up.
[03:42] ---
    But the sister can't
    carry all of this by herself.
[03:45] ---
    Huh? You want me to accompany
    the sister to the Central Church
[03:48] ---
    to baptize our equipment?
[03:49] ---
    Yeah, otherwise known as the Baptism Church.
    You've never been, have you?
[03:54] ---
    No, sir.
[03:55] ---
    The equipment we need baptized is in there.
[03:58] ---
    All right, sir.
[04:00] ---
    Excuse me. I'm ready to go at any time.
[04:02] ---
    I'm looking forward to going with you today.
[04:04] ---
    Right! Let's go get 'er done! Yay!
[04:06] ---
    "Yay!!"
[04:07] ---
    How adorable is that?
[04:11] ---
    Church date with the sister...
    Church date with the sister...
[04:15] ---
    That's not too heavy, is it?
[04:17] ---
    Piece of cake!
[04:18] ---
    It must be a real chore
    doing this alone all the time.
[04:21] ---
    Normally, there isn't this much to carry.
[04:27] ---
    "Power cobra"
[04:27] ---
    I need to work out so I don't
    get outdone by the rest of you.
[04:30] ---
    Th-The sister's milky-skinned,
    supple upper arm...!
[04:34] ---
    No! It's wrong to look at the sister like that!
[04:37] ---
    "Impermissible power cobra"
[04:38] ---
    That is an off-limits upper arm!
[04:42] ---
    "Tokyo Empire, Chuo-ku, Central Church"
    "known as the 'Baptism Church'"
[04:45] ---
    This is the Baptism Church?
[04:51] ---
    This water--is this where
    the equipment is baptized?
[04:55] ---
    It will take some time before I'm finished,
    so please, feel free to look around.
[05:00] ---
    Right. Okay, I'll see you later.
[05:07] ---
    It doesn't look like there's going to be time
    for a nice stroll with the sister.
[05:11] ---
    Of course not. This is work.
[05:17] ---
    Even a church as pretty as this one
[05:18] ---
    has the specter of the Evangelist
    overshadowing its origins.
[05:22] ---
    The sister is conducting herself
    as cheerfully as ever,
[05:26] ---
    but her smile seems a bit awkward.
[05:30] ---
    If she's concerned about something,
    I'd be happy to be of help to her.
[05:35] ---
    Hallowed Lord, who shineth in the heavens,
[05:39] ---
    may the blessings of baptism be
    upon those that reach thy presence.
[05:43] ---
    The Evangelist is the one
    who founded the Holy Sol Temple.
[05:46] ---
    Who exactly am I offering up my faith to?
[05:50] ---
    Sister Iris, your worldly thoughts
    are quite evident.
[05:53] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[05:58] ---
    I have to say, it's pretty here.
[06:00] ---
    Oh, if it isn't Kusakabe-kun, from the 8th.
[06:02] ---
    Long time no see, Lieutenant Huo Yan!
[06:05] ---
    You don't see that very often here.
[06:10] ---
    I'm here having some
    pacification equipment baptized.
[06:13] ---
    It's admirable that you are so earnest
    about coming for the baptisms.
[06:16] ---
    What do you mean by that, sir?
[06:17] ---
    You must have heard things about
    the Holy Sol Temple and the Evangelist.
[06:22] ---
    Whatever is being said, some units
    have been neglecting baptisms lately.
[06:26] ---
    Huh?
[06:28] ---
    Even Karim seems to be growing
    disenchanted with the Holy Sol Temple.
[06:33] ---
    Could that be bothering the sister, too?
[06:36] ---
    Lieutenant Huo Yan, what do you think?
[06:42] ---
    When I heard the Holy Sol Temple
    may have been created by the Evangelist,
[06:46] ---
    it came as a shock. However,
[06:48] ---
    the Holy Sol Temple reveres the Sun
    and its fire, not the Evangelist.
[06:53] ---
    As long as we have the Sun
    that I've venerated for so long,
[06:56] ---
    my faith will not be shaken.
[06:59] ---
    On the other hand, I have become
    aware of something frightening.
[07:03] ---
    If the Evangelist is nothing more than a sham,
[07:05] ---
    she has been having others worship her as a god,
[07:08] ---
    while enriching herself this whole time.
[07:10] ---
    That's true.
[07:12] ---
    But the truth of the matter is,
    the Evangelist lurks in the shadows.
[07:18] ---
    As such, it lends veracity to
    the idea that the Evangelist's people
[07:22] ---
    are plotting to destroy the world.
[07:24] ---
    You're saying that our faith is dangerous?
[07:31] ---
    People need faith.
[07:34] ---
    We need something to believe in.
[07:40] ---
    Lieutenant Huo Yan, was it because of your faith
[07:43] ---
    that you were able to protect
    Lieutenant Karim without hesitation?
[07:48] ---
    I suppose so. Just as I have faith
    in the Holy Sol Temple,
[07:52] ---
    I also believe in Karim.
[07:56] ---
    It's a hard thing to lose
    something you believe in.
[08:02] ---
    If you have the power to believe,
    you can save your friends.
[08:06] ---
    The power to believe...
[08:09] ---
    --You're going to, Benimaru.
[08:11] ---
    --No matter what anyone else says,
    Asakusa is your town, Waka.
    --You're going to, Benimaru.
[08:12] ---
    --No matter what anyone else says,
    Asakusa is your town, Waka.
[08:14] ---
    They don't want to hear just anyone's words;
[08:16] ---
    --they want to hear the words of Beni.
[08:17] ---
    --You men know what I mean, right?
    --they want to hear the words of Beni.
[08:19] ---
    If it means supporting Waka,
[08:21] ---
    I'll offer my two-bit life
    as many times as I need to.
[08:25] ---
    It's because the 7th has such unfaltering hearts
[08:27] ---
    that they've become as strong as they are.
[08:30] ---
    But if we lose the things we believe in...
[08:34] ---
    I apologize for keeping you waiting.
[08:36] ---
    I wasn't praying wholeheartedly
    and got yelled at.
[08:40] ---
    Not at all. You're fine.
[08:43] ---
    Someone as faithful as the sister...
[08:47] ---
    Well, should we head back?
[08:48] ---
    O-Oh, um...
[08:51] ---
    There's someplace I'd like to
    stop by on the way, if we could.
[08:56] ---
    What is this?
[08:57] ---
    The National Holy Sol Cemetery.
    It's where all the clergy get buried.
[09:02] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[09:03] ---
    Whenever I come for baptisms,
    I always stop by here.
[09:07] ---
    I visit the graves of the sisters
    from the convent where I grew up.
[09:12] ---
    Amazing!
[09:14] ---
    Look at all the sunflowers!
[09:16] ---
    Sunflowers face the sun to bloom.
[09:20] ---
    That's why they plant them near graves--
[09:24] ---
    so the dead know the way to the Sun.
[09:27] ---
    This way. Will you pray with me?
[09:31] ---
    Of course!
[09:35] ---
    "Rest in Peace"
[09:39] ---
    That's quite a dazzling display.
[09:41] ---
    That's Hibana nee-san's doing.
    How are they supposed to rest like this?
[09:46] ---
    Captain Hibana did?
[09:48] ---
    These flowers are tidy. It looks like
    she just came by recently.
[09:52] ---
    You might not guess it, but she did
    love everyone from the convent.
[09:57] ---
    She comes to visit regularly.
[10:00] ---
    She does overdo it a bit, though.
[10:01] ---
    "Rest in Peace"
[10:04] ---
    How is everyone? Sister Clematis,
    you shouldn't eat too much.
[10:10] ---
    Sister Sakura, be sure not to stay up too late.
[10:14] ---
    Next time, I'll come by before Nee-san
    jazzes everything up, okay?
[10:20] ---
    Say, Sister...
[10:22] ---
    Yes?
[10:23] ---
    Maybe it's just my imagination...
[10:27] ---
    ...but if there's anything troubling you,
    perhaps I can help?
[10:32] ---
    Is it the matter with the Evangelist?
[10:35] ---
    Is it that obvious?
    I guess I'm not very practiced.
[10:39] ---
    You're always pushing
    Vulcan's buttons and stuff--
[10:42] ---
    going straight after whatever you desire.
[10:44] ---
    You're not difficult to read, is all.
[10:47] ---
    Oh, but I mean, your forthrightness is
    a good thing. It lightens everyone's mood.
[10:56] ---
    Shinra-san, what do you think about
    the Holy Sol Temple?
[11:01] ---
    What do you think about
    those of us who believe in it?
[11:05] ---
    Huh? What do I--
[11:08] ---
    What was that?!
[11:09] ---
    Oh, Father...!
[11:13] ---
    Are you hurt?
[11:14] ---
    The priest just suddenly...!
[11:17] ---
    An Infernal!
[11:20] ---
    Why? He is always praying! Why would he...?
[11:24] ---
    I'll put him to rest!
[11:27] ---
    Please keep back!
[11:36] ---
    Sister! The prayer!
[11:38] ---
    R-Right.
[11:39] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[11:45] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
[11:54] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire!
[12:05] ---
    Látom.
[12:09] ---
    Why? Oh, Father!
[12:12] ---
    He prayed to God every day.
[12:17] ---
    Just what good are our prayers?
[12:20] ---
    Sister...
[12:22] ---
    Does God not have any mercy?
[12:28] ---
    Látom.
[12:32] ---
    It is fortunate that there was
    a Fire Soldier here.
[12:36] ---
    Oh, no...
[12:37] ---
    The father was such a good man.
    What does God take our prayers for?
[12:47] ---
    About what we were discussing before...
[12:50] ---
    If the Evangelist was the one
    who created the Holy Sol Temple,
[12:54] ---
    doesn't that mean that the God
    we worship is the Evangelist?
[12:59] ---
    The Evangelist...?
[13:03] ---
    An inhuman being beyond human understanding.
[13:06] ---
    When I experienced that Adolla Link,
[13:08] ---
    I felt the impression that she was
    just such an otherworldly being.
[13:12] ---
    That might just be close to
    who we picture as "God" in our minds.
[13:17] ---
    But this God wants people to destroy the world,
[13:20] ---
    and wishes death and suffering upon us.
[13:23] ---
    If we clergy members believe in her teachings...
[13:29] ---
    ...then we are also
    leading people to their deaths.
[13:32] ---
    That's not true!
[13:35] ---
    I'm the one who killed him.
[13:37] ---
    No! Shinra-san, you gave him rest
    from the torment of the flames!
[13:41] ---
    Yes. There was no choice but to put him to rest.
[13:45] ---
    I realize that, but my feet
    are still tingling, even now,
[13:50] ---
    and my heart is fluttering.
[13:53] ---
    Once, Captain Obi said to me
[13:57] ---
    that the most terrifying thing about
    this job is getting accustomed to it.
[14:01] ---
    I thought I wanted to get
    a little used to this, but I couldn't.
[14:05] ---
    Still,
[14:06] ---
    that's precisely the reason why
    we Fire Soldiers need sisters.
[14:11] ---
    I ran into Lieutenant Huo Yan earlier.
[14:14] ---
    He said that the Sun he prays to
    is unmistakably there,
[14:19] ---
    and that his faith has
    nothing to do with the Evangelist.
[14:23] ---
    I suppose that's true.
[14:25] ---
    So you please keep looking forward, too, Sister.
[14:31] ---
    It's because you see the Sun--
[14:34] ---
    see its light that the rest of us
    can keep fighting.
[14:38] ---
    To those of us at the 8th,
    you are kind of like our own sunflower.
[14:43] ---
    I'm... the 8th's...
[14:46] ---
    ...sunflower?
[14:52] ---
    But irises aren't sunflowers.
[14:54] ---
    Right, sorry!
[14:59] ---
    Thank you very much.
    You've made me... very happy.
[15:04] ---
    But please don't overdo it, okay?
[15:08] ---
    Sure.
[15:13] ---
    I'm fine.
[15:19] ---
    Sister Iris, that was a very good prayer.
[15:24] ---
    Thank you very much.
[15:27] ---
    Okay...
[15:28] ---
    Do you want me to carry one?
[15:29] ---
    Oh, no. The heavy lifting is our job, after all.
[15:33] ---
    If I had to, I could even carry you, as well!
[15:35] ---
    Muscles! Muscles!
[15:37] ---
    Huh? That would be too much!
[15:38] ---
    I could totally do it! C'mon, c'mon!
[15:42] ---
    I-I'm on.
[15:44] ---
    Oh, I can do it.
[15:48] ---
    Wah! Are you all right?!
[15:50] ---
    Compared to all the captain's gear,
    this is nothing!
[15:55] ---
    Shinra-san...
[15:57] ---
    ...the next time I have something
    on my mind, I'll come to you with it first.
[16:02] ---
    Right. I'll be glad to.
[16:09] ---
    I promise.
[16:15] ---
    What's this? His training is complete?
[16:19] ---
    At last, he has completed his training.
[16:22] ---
    The 8th is finished for sure this time.
[16:26] ---
    The Fire Blast departs.
[16:28] ---
    Or rather...
[16:31] ---
    ...off he goes.
[16:35] ---
    "Episode 18:
    The Man, Assault"
[16:43] ---
    In my clash with the 8th in the Nether,
[16:46] ---
    I was to eliminate them all as the Slaughterer.
[16:50] ---
    However, I ran into an
    unexpected assassin there...
[16:55] ---
    Tamaki Kotatsu. Despite her innocent appearance,
[16:59] ---
    her shamelessness is unparalleled.
[17:03] ---
    She makes my skin crawl.
    If I'm going to bring down the 8th,
[17:06] ---
    I'll have to take her out first.
[17:09] ---
    That's why I've been training. Day in
    and day out, sunrise to sunset, I trained.
[17:15] ---
    All to resist that damnably audacious woman!
[17:21] ---
    I read pornographic magazines.
[17:24] ---
    I also took in lewd books,
    and even viewed salacious videos.
[17:28] ---
    I looked at everything!
[17:31] ---
    I have overcome the female form.
[17:35] ---
    Just you wait, Tamaki Kotatsu.
[17:38] ---
    Away!
[17:42] ---
    "Letter of challenge"
[17:44] ---
    What's this?
[17:46] ---
    "I will expect you at the picturesque
    vacant lot in 2-chome."
[17:51] ---
    Is this a new style of love letter?!
[17:53] ---
    "Vacant lot"
[17:54] ---
    It's you...
[17:56] ---
    Assault, the Bloody Fire Blast!
[17:59] ---
    You have guts, coming here alone,
    Tamaki Kotatsu.
[18:03] ---
    Why are you here?!
[18:05] ---
    There's no reason to explain to someone
    whose death is imminent. Die!
[18:12] ---
    The wrinkle in her underwear-- It's so sensuous!
[18:16] ---
    Damn it! I never realized it was this bad!
[18:19] ---
    Off I go...
[18:21] ---
    It's different when it comes to the real thing.
[18:25] ---
    Nya!
[18:29] ---
    What? Assault failed?
[18:32] ---
    It seems that this target
    is exceptionally powerful.
[18:36] ---
    So where is Assault right now?
[18:40] ---
    Apparently embarking on new training.
[18:45] ---
    I was a fool for thinking I knew what I was
    dealing with from paper and video.
[18:49] ---
    The real thing... The real thing
    is so much different.
[18:53] ---
    In which case... off I go!
[18:56] ---
    "Club Chupa Cabaret"
[18:56] ---
    Away!
[18:58] ---
    Welcome, sir.
[18:59] ---
    Welcome, sir.
[19:00] ---
    --Do you have someone specific in mind?
    --One bottle coming up.
[19:03] ---
    You sure your breasts
    haven't gotten even bigger?
[19:05] ---
    Ha-ha-ha, oh please!
[19:07] ---
    Scythe-san, what's wrong? Are you crying again?
[19:10] ---
    My daughter simply refuses to speak to me.
[19:13] ---
    Something about this place
    is giving me goosebumps all over.
[19:17] ---
    I really do love Makami, though.
    I'm a good father, right?
[19:21] ---
    How do you do?
[19:24] ---
    I'm Saki. It's a pleasure to meet you.
[19:27] ---
    This is dynamite.
[19:29] ---
    Eh? What's the big idea, wearing a tuxedo?
    Did you sneak out of a wedding?
[19:35] ---
    Mister, I can tell, there's something
    different about you.
[19:37] ---
    Th-There is?
[19:39] ---
    You're not like ordinary men. I can tell.
[19:44] ---
    I'm really not like other men.
[19:46] ---
    There's no reason why
    I can't beat Tamaki Kotatsu.
[19:51] ---
    I'm surprisingly good at talking to women, huh?
[19:54] ---
    Perhaps I actually have a gift
    when it comes to dealing with women.
[19:58] ---
    Which means it's on, Tamaki Kotatsu.
[20:02] ---
    Away!
[20:05] ---
    No!
[20:07] ---
    How come?!
[20:10] ---
    D-Don't look at me.
[20:14] ---
    Wh-What is this?! This innocent bashfulness?!
[20:19] ---
    It's different when it comes to amateurs!
[20:25] ---
    She's good. She's too good.
[20:29] ---
    I've never encountered
    a foe this formidable before.
[20:33] ---
    Which is all the more reason why
    I have to get past this.
[20:36] ---
    I am the Assassin of the Abyss.
[20:39] ---
    I am Assault, the Bloody Fire Blast, after all.
[20:45] ---
    "Edogawa-ku Waterproofing Day"
[20:46] ---
    After my third defeat,
[20:48] ---
    I went someplace where strong gusts
    tended to cause wardrobe malfunctions,
[20:51] ---
    and waited for them to happen.
[20:54] ---
    My finely-honed visual acuity
    would not let anything go unnoticed.
[20:58] ---
    --Gah! Knock it off, you pervy wind!
    Sicko! Deviant!
[21:00] ---
    --Amateur panties! Now to burn
    their bashfulness into my retinas!
    --Gah! Knock it off, you pervy wind! Sicko! Deviant!
[21:06] ---
    My training is complete. There is
    no factor that can defeat me now.
[21:11] ---
    You have at last conquered it?
[21:14] ---
    Yes.
[21:19] ---
    He stopped my arrow with a single finger.
    His skills are absolutely sharp.
[21:25] ---
    Assault, off you go, right?
[21:33] ---
    "Off I go"
[21:36] ---
    Off I go...
[21:39] ---
    Assault...
[21:43] ---
    Enough, already!
[21:45] ---
    What the hell is your problem?!
[21:47] ---
    This will be the last time.
[21:49] ---
    Glimpse.
[21:51] ---
    I've grown, as well. I can withstand that much.
[21:56] ---
    Try as hard as you want, it's still no use!
[21:58] ---
    Yes, you're right.
    It's no use, just like you say.
[22:03] ---
    I know it, as well.
    I can see how this plays out.
[22:08] ---
    No matter how often I try, there is no chance...
[22:11] ---
    ...of me winning this fight.
[22:14] ---
    It's different when it
    comes to an opponent I like.

[00:00] ---
    Y--
[00:01] ---
    You're leaving the military?
[00:03] ---
    There's a new unit that's shorthanded,
[00:06] ---
    and the sense I got was that
    they would take whoever they could,
[00:08] ---
    so I thought that even a novice
    like myself could be of help to them.
[00:12] ---
    But your work in the military
    is worthwhile, too, isn't it?
[00:15] ---
    Mm-mm.
[00:18] ---
    I want to join the Special Fire Force
    and be someone who protects others.
[01:53] ---
    "Episode 19:
    The Oze Family"
[01:56] ---
    "Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces,
    Command Center"
[01:59] ---
    General Oze, we've received a periodic
    report from the Special Fire Force.
[02:04] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[02:13] ---
    A periodic report...
[02:16] ---
    ...from the Special Fire Force, you say?
[02:19] ---
    Hmm?
[02:20] ---
    "Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces,
    Integrated Security Operations"
    "General Danro Oze"
[02:23] ---
    Y-Yes, sir.
[02:27] ---
    That was terrifying.
[02:28] ---
    Hmm? Something the matter?
[02:31] ---
    Oh, I was delivering
    the Special Fire Force's periodic report,
[02:35] ---
    and General Oze was rather imposing.
[02:38] ---
    Ah, that explains it.
[02:41] ---
    His daughter sure was cute, huh?
[02:43] ---
    She's stationed at Yokota Air Base, isn't she?
[02:45] ---
    No, she's left the military.
[02:48] ---
    I hear she went against
    General Oze's objections
[02:50] ---
    and joined Special Fire Force Company 8.
[02:54] ---
    "Oze Residence"
[03:16] ---
    Was I always this beefy?
[03:31] ---
    I'm home.
[03:32] ---
    My, you're home early today.
[03:34] ---
    I had the early shift,
    and my relief came in early, too.
[03:37] ---
    I'll take your coat.
[03:39] ---
    Thanks.

[03:48] ---
    The missus is getting dinner ready right now.
[03:51] ---
    It's been some time since the whole family
    has gotten together, hasn't it?
[03:54] ---
    Yeah, it sure has.
[04:03] ---
    Wow, this looks so good!
[04:05] ---
    Mom, this is quite a feast!
[04:07] ---
    We're all eating together today, so...
[04:10] ---
    Danro-san!
[04:13] ---
    Dad!
[04:18] ---
    It's been a long time since we've
    eaten together, huh, Maki-chan?
[04:23] ---
    Mom really went all-out.
    Do you think we can eat all this?
[04:27] ---
    General Oze, the Empire's Nio Guardian,
[04:29] ---
    is putty in the hands of his daughter
    when she's around.
[04:32] ---
    Ahem! Takigi, I see you're home.
[04:35] ---
    Being a general at home, too,
    would be exhausting.
[04:38] ---
    Okay, dig in before it gets cold.
[04:43] ---
    Delicious!
[04:44] ---
    Mm-hmm, this is good, Mom.
[04:46] ---
    Nothing is better than dinner
    with the whole family.
[04:49] ---
    I'll bet the lieutenant is the only one
    who can rival Mom's cooking.
[04:53] ---
    The lieutenant? Hinawa, wasn't it?
[04:57] ---
    That's the man who lured you into
    that dangerous Fire Force job, right?
[05:00] ---
    It's all right. I'm not
    as fragile as I was before.
[05:07] ---
    Twin Cobras--
[05:07] ---
    You've put on more weight again, haven't you?
[05:11] ---
    No I haven't.
[05:13] ---
    Let me see them again.
    They were as big around as my waist--
[05:15] ---
    --That's not true at all!
    You can't just say whatever--
[05:17] ---
    --Takigi,
    --That's not true at all!
    You can't just say whatever--
[05:18] ---
    it's bad manners to point
    at someone with your fork.
[05:21] ---
    He's right, though. Maki-chan, are you sure
    you aren't overdoing your training?
[05:25] ---
    You're going to scare off any suitors.
[05:27] ---
    You really are an awful brother!
[05:31] ---
    Someday, a prince on a white horse
    will come along and fall in love with me!
[05:36] ---
    Maki-chan may be macho on the outside,
[05:37] ---
    but she still has a flower garden
    for a mind, and is adorable!
[05:41] ---
    There's where she gets her dual personality.
[05:42] ---
    It's bad manners to get so giddy while eating.
[05:45] ---
    Oh, it's my girl.
[05:47] ---
    You've weached Takigi! I'm having dinner
    with my famiwy wight now!
[05:51] ---
    Now who's got the split personality?
[05:53] ---
    --Takigi, your baby-talk is too much.
[05:54] ---
    --Pleasant conversation is nice and all,
    --Takigi, your baby-talk is too much.
[05:55] ---
    --Pleasant conversation is nice and all,
    --Who're you calling a baby?!
[05:57] ---
    --Pleasant conversation is nice and all,
    --Maki-chan, you'll always be Daddy's baby.
[05:57] ---
    --but let's observe some manners, okay?
    --Maki-chan, you'll always be Daddy's baby.
[05:59] ---
    How can you talk to your girlfriend like that?
[06:03] ---
    Hey, you jerks! Have some manners
    when you're eating!

[06:11] ---
    --Yes.
    --This steak is the best.
[06:12] ---
    "Maki of the past"
[06:14] ---
    Hm-hm, Maki of the past...
[06:21] ---
    Thanks.
[06:23] ---
    Maki, you said you've been to the Nether before.
[06:26] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[06:27] ---
    This guy you're currently after?
[06:29] ---
    Mm-hmm. There's an area where
    we've had a string of people going missing.
[06:34] ---
    Now we're getting reports of strange smells
    coming from the Nether around there.
[06:39] ---
    The Nether is scary.
[06:41] ---
    I've heard that the 8th once had
    a large-scale engagement in the Nether.
[06:47] ---
    Stories have made their
    way back to the military.
[06:51] ---
    Those investigations are an unavoidable
    part of our duty as Fire Soldiers.
[06:55] ---
    Are you all right?
[07:02] ---
    The 8th is incredibly strong.
[07:04] ---
    The captain and lieutenant are, of course,
[07:07] ---
    but our rookies are also the cream of the crop,
[07:09] ---
    and we have the finest engineer
    in the world with us, too.
[07:33] ---
    We can access the Nether through here, right?
[07:35] ---
    I never thought we'd get a search warrant.
[07:38] ---
    I guess it shows how important
    things are to the Empire
[07:41] ---
    in matters relating to the Evangelist.
[07:44] ---
    You visited your home yesterday, right?
[07:46] ---
    It's the first dinner we've had
    as a whole family in a long time.
[07:50] ---
    Maki-chan came, too, right?
    Did she say anything about the Nether?
[07:53] ---
    Yeah.
[07:55] ---
    She said she never wanted to come here again.
[07:57] ---
    For real?
[08:06] ---
    Watch yourself.
[08:07] ---
    It looks so deteriorated down here.
[08:10] ---
    The reports said there were
    strange smells coming from the Nether.
[08:14] ---
    There are a ton of underground
    facilities throughout the empire
[08:17] ---
    left over from before the Cataclysm.
[08:21] ---
    Whoa, I am actually in the Nether.
[08:24] ---
    My late mother would turn over in her grave.
[08:27] ---
    The source of the smell
    from the report was over that way.
[08:32] ---
    There are so many turnoffs here.
    The place is like a maze.
[08:36] ---
    If we're likely to get lost,
    we should turn back rather than be heroes.
[08:39] ---
    I'm with you.
[08:42] ---
    Hold up.
[08:44] ---
    There are tracks in the dust,
    like something was dragged through here.
[08:47] ---
    They're still fresh.
[08:49] ---
    They keep on going that way.
[08:50] ---
    "Equipment Room"
[08:53] ---
    An equipment room.
[08:54] ---
    In here?
[08:57] ---
    I hear something.
[09:11] ---
    What is all this?
[09:17] ---
    What is that for?
[09:20] ---
    Is this some kind of laboratory?
[09:22] ---
    I don't know.
[09:23] ---
    As I'm sure you know,
    the military has no intel at all about this.
[09:31] ---
    Take a look at this.
[09:36] ---
    An Insect?
[09:37] ---
    I did some independent research on these,
    but I never expected to see one.
[09:42] ---
    Apparently, the White-Clad use these Insects
    to artificially create Infernals.
[09:48] ---
    Then this really is a White-Clad lab?
[09:50] ---
    The odds are good.
[09:52] ---
    Let's see if there's anything else here.
[09:54] ---
    Yeah.
[09:56] ---
    Who's there?!
[09:59] ---
    There's someone back there. Stay sharp.
[10:00] ---
    R-Right.
[10:06] ---
    A charred body?
[10:07] ---
    No, that's an Infernal.
[10:09] ---
    What's going on here?
    Its core is still intact, but it's dead.
[10:16] ---
    Come on out! We know you're in there!
[10:22] ---
    --Bomb!
    --Get back!
[10:38] ---
    O... ze...
[10:42] ---
    Oze!
[10:44] ---
    "Holy Sol Hospital"
[10:47] ---
    Burns to the right arm, left arm fractured,
[10:50] ---
    facial lacerations,
    and bruises from head to toe.
[10:53] ---
    It will take three months
    before you're all healed,
[10:55] ---
    but you're lucky to be alive at all.
[10:58] ---
    You came through okay?
[11:01] ---
    Just some scratches, thanks to you.
[11:03] ---
    What's the status of the scene?
[11:05] ---
    The blast from the suicide bomber
    blew just about everything up.
[11:09] ---
    So those are the White-Clad.
[11:12] ---
    If they'll even blow themselves up,
    they're more dangerous than I imagined.
[11:16] ---
    This is the crowd that Maki-chan is taking on?
[11:21] ---
    This man, Lieutenant Hinawa,
    recruited Maki to a fight like this?
[11:30] ---
    I see.
[11:31] ---
    So my son is all right.
[11:33] ---
    But what the hell is down in the Nether?
[11:38] ---
    All military organizations thus far
[11:40] ---
    have been kept out of the loop when
    it comes to matters of the White-Clad.
[11:46] ---
    However,
[11:47] ---
    as defenders of the empire, we can't afford
    to be left out in the cold anymore!
[11:53] ---
    Get me Honda, from Special Fire Force Company 2!
[11:56] ---
    He must be getting tired of
    sitting around on this, too!
[12:01] ---
    I'm giving the 2nd a mission
    to investigate the Nether!
[12:19] ---
    Sil-burro, nice security work again today.
[12:21] ---
    You're always at that, huh?
[12:24] ---
    Sil-burro was a traumatized donkey
[12:27] ---
    who sprouted bull's horns,
    thanks to Hinawa's wicked experiments.
[12:30] ---
    Now that the benevolent Knight King
    has taken him in, he is happy.
[12:34] ---
    Oh! Oh!
[12:35] ---
    Wha--? You've gone and stuffed trash
    into Sil-burro's mouth again!
[12:39] ---
    Confounded devil! You're so low
    you would abuse animals like that?!
[12:42] ---
    Take it down! That thing is so ugly!
[12:44] ---
    --And the trash thing wasn't me!
[12:45] ---
    --They're fighting again.
    --And the trash thing wasn't me!
[12:46] ---
    --They're fighting again.
    --You expect me to trust anything you say?!
[12:48] ---
    --Here, Sil-burro-chan, it's feeding time.
    --My trash can is right there!
[12:53] ---
    I told you it wasn't me!
[12:55] ---
    --Hmph! Your deeds every day are evil!
    What do you expect?!
[12:57] ---
    --Vulcan-san said that donkeys don't eat paper.
    --Hmph! Your deeds every day are evil!
    What do you expect?!
[13:00] ---
    We're not supposed to feed it to goats, either.
[13:02] ---
    Even though the black goat eats his mail?
[13:04] ---
    It's like this every morning at the 8th, huh?
[13:07] ---
    Everyone here's an idiot.
[13:09] ---
    Hinawa...
[13:11] ---
    A moment?
[13:14] ---
    Take a look at this. It arrived this morning
    from the Imperial Armed Forces.
[13:23] ---
    A mission to investigate
    testing facilities in the Nether...
[13:26] ---
    Does this mean the military
    is going into the Nether?
[13:29] ---
    Specifically, it's a joint operation
    between the 2nd and the 8th.
[13:33] ---
    They've requested our assistance.
[13:35] ---
    No doubt because we've had
    previous experience in the Nether.
[13:39] ---
    Right. But the issue is what's written
    at the bottom of the page.
[13:46] ---
    The crew members of the 8th
    belong to the Fire Defense Agency.
[13:49] ---
    We can refuse a request from the military.
[13:54] ---
    Hinawa, what should we do?
[14:00] ---
    What is it, sir?
[14:06] ---
    Okay. The Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces...
[14:08] ---
    "...the return of Maki Oze..."
[14:12] ---
    J-Just a minute, sir. This is...
[14:14] ---
    ...an order for you to return to the military.
[14:17] ---
    But I'm no longer in the military;
    I'm a Fire Soldier!
[14:19] ---
    Yes, exactly right. But this comes
    straight from your father, General Oze.
[14:26] ---
    That has nothing to do with it.
    Obviously I'm staying with the 8th.
[14:30] ---
    I understand your brother in CID was
    badly hurt investigating in the Nether.
[14:34] ---
    It wasn't anything life-threatening, sir.
[14:36] ---
    The actions of the White-Clad
    are getting more extreme by the day.
[14:40] ---
    Your father is probably just worried about you.
[14:44] ---
    I'm sure, but I'll be fine.
[14:48] ---
    I'm proud of the Special Fire Force
    that the lieutenant recruited me for.
[14:53] ---
    Isn't that right, sir?
[14:59] ---
    Maki, go back to the military.
[15:04] ---
    Huh?
[15:08] ---
    A joint operation with the 8th?
[15:12] ---
    I hear it's supposed to be a large-scale
    investigation of the Nether.
[15:15] ---
    Hajiki-senpai!
[15:16] ---
    We're going to uncover
    the White-Clad's testing facilities.
[15:19] ---
    I sure hope Tamaki-san is coming, too.
[15:21] ---
    --Hmm?
    --Oh, nothing!
[15:25] ---
    I can't get this lid open!
[15:29] ---
    Good morning.
[15:31] ---
    What are you doing?
[15:33] ---
    The lid on this jar tightens up in no time,
[15:36] ---
    so I always had Maki-san open it for me.
[15:40] ---
    Isn't a same-day return a little sudden?
[15:48] ---
    Maki is the daughter of
    an Imperial Armed Forces general.
[15:51] ---
    This is probably a way to ensure
    she doesn't join the mission--
[15:56] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[15:57] ---
    This is why I always asked Maki-san
    to do it. You're too strong.
[16:03] ---
    So, when is Maki coming back?
[16:09] ---
    --Maki-san... isn't ever coming back.
    --Nuh-uh.
[16:12] ---
    M-Maki-san decided this on her own--
[16:13] ---
    I'm not listening!
[16:15] ---
    --Maki-san decided this on--
    --Ah!
[16:18] ---
    What is wrong with you? Are you a child?
[16:23] ---
    I don't want-- No one wants to admit it...
[16:28] ---
    "Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces,
    Secretarial Division"
[16:33] ---
    11:00, huh?
[16:35] ---
    Ordinarily, we'd finish our office work
[16:37] ---
    and start training now.
[16:48] ---
    Me, return to the military?
[16:54] ---
    The White-Clad's activities
    are becoming more extreme.
[16:58] ---
    This is no mission for Daddy's precious girl.
[17:09] ---
    Very well, sir.
[17:12] ---
    The lieutenant still thinks
    I'm not up to the task.
[17:21] ---
    Secretary Oze, I am Captain Hiraoka!
    Thank you for working so hard!
[17:24] ---
    Good morning, Captain Hiraoka.
[17:28] ---
    Ugh, they're treating me with kid gloves.
[17:32] ---
    Wasn't that General Oze's...?
[17:34] ---
    Yeah. Isn't she adorable?
[17:36] ---
    Our Nio Guardian has
    fathered a celestial maiden.
[17:42] ---
    Good morning.
[17:43] ---
    Did you have this morning off?
[17:45] ---
    Well, we have so little to do.
    Nice, relaxed workplace, isn't it?
[17:50] ---
    We're surrounded by our choice of
    the military's elite, and the pay is great.
[17:55] ---
    This is peak princess's privilege.
[17:58] ---
    Yes it is.
[18:00] ---
    We both grew up always being told
    how cute we were by everyone around us,
[18:06] ---
    coddled and loved, which is why we're
    so much more agreeable than others.
[18:12] ---
    Plus we're thoughtful,
[18:13] ---
    making us the perfect people to
    place in the elite's showcase, right?
[18:17] ---
    Welcome to the stereotype,
    where we actually do type.
[18:31] ---
    Go back to the military.
[18:35] ---
    What's that? Your insignia from the 8th?
[18:37] ---
    Oh, this? Y-Yes it is.
    It was a going-away present.
[18:50] ---
    Good morning, Maki-chan.
[18:52] ---
    G-General Oze? Huh? "Maki-chan"?
[18:56] ---
    General Oze, the Nio Guardian of the Empire,
    calls his daughter Maki-chan?
[19:04] ---
    I'll just step out for a bit, okay?
[19:05] ---
    Thank you.
[19:10] ---
    I'm glad you've come back.
[19:13] ---
    I just returned to where I should be.
[19:17] ---
    Gotta keep your bird in her cage.
[19:20] ---
    Maki-chan, you're upset at me.
[19:24] ---
    You promised me you would
    be keeping people safe,
[19:27] ---
    but committing yourself to dangerous battles
    wasn't part of the agreement.
[19:31] ---
    But I know you aren't the kind of girl
    who breaks her promises.
[19:39] ---
    You were tricked by Lieutenant Hinawa
    at the 8th, weren't you?
[19:46] ---
    Whatever the case,
    it's a relief having you back here.
[19:50] ---
    We'll talk about it when there's more time.
[20:00] ---
    Dad isn't at fault here.
    He was just worried about me.
[20:05] ---
    The same goes for Lieutenant Hinawa.
[20:08] ---
    I'm the disappointment for
    always being so unacceptable.
[20:15] ---
    I was trying so hard, too.
    They're both so demanding.
[20:21] ---
    Training isn't something
    you work hard to get through.
[20:24] ---
    You need to get through it with ease.
[20:27] ---
    Yeah, demanding, all right.
[20:31] ---
    Maybe I'm driving myself too hard.
[20:36] ---
    Even birds in their cages have concerns.
[20:38] ---
    The rest of the world wouldn't understand.
[20:48] ---
    "Special Fire Force Company 2, Captain"
    "Gustav Honda"
[20:50] ---
    I'm training my head and neck.
[20:53] ---
    Don't mind me, please begin.
[20:56] ---
    All right, the things to be
    mindful of on this mission are--
[21:02] ---
    Mm-hmm, continue.
[21:06] ---
    There are many facilities in Tokyo's Nether,
[21:09] ---
    but most of them collapsed
    during the Great Cataclysm,
[21:12] ---
    were buried under rubble, and are inaccessible
    without digging them out.
[21:16] ---
    As such, we are looking for a location
    that can be easily reached,
[21:18] ---
    and does not require excavation.
[21:21] ---
    This narrows down the points we need to search.
[21:25] ---
    These locations were proposed
    by Lieutenant Oze, of CID.
[21:29] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[21:30] ---
    If we investigate each one in turn,
    we run the risk of tipping the enemy off.
[21:35] ---
    We believe the best plan is to
    begin searching each area in unison.
[21:39] ---
    In that case, we will deploy
    multiple companies at once.
[21:43] ---
    I'm Lieutenant Ayabe.
[21:45] ---
    In that case, since the 8th
    has experience in the Nether,
[21:47] ---
    we should have you split up
    and place someone in each company.
[21:50] ---
    All right then, please have each company
    investigate these points simultaneously.
[21:56] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[21:59] ---
    Attention, Special Fire Force Company 2!
[22:01] ---
    This is an order to all units!
[22:04] ---
    Tomorrow morning at 0800,
    we begin Operation Nether Investigation!
[22:11] ---
    Those of us from the 8th
[22:13] ---
    will be mobilizing separately
    with companies from the 2nd?
[22:16] ---
    Mm-hmm. This will be
    our first mission without Maki.
[22:20] ---
    Let's all keep on our toes!
[22:22] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!

[00:07] ---
    "Prologue: The Great Cataclysm"
[00:11] ---
    A long time ago, mankind was
    touched by the planet's anger,
[00:15] ---
    and the world was engulfed in flames.
[00:18] ---
    It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
[00:21] ---
    The flames burned ferociously,
[00:23] ---
    with an intensity threatening to
    incinerate the places mankind lived in,
[00:27] ---
    the languages they spoke,
    and the culture they had built up.
[00:30] ---
    "Chapter One: Holy Fire"
[00:33] ---
    As the world was being covered in ash,
    one man appeared.
[00:38] ---
    He would later be called Raffles I.
[00:42] ---
    Raffles took his disciples and
    left on a journey in search of light.
[00:47] ---
    At the end of his journey,
    he found an "unsullied flame,"
[00:51] ---
    and brought forth the light that
    would be mankind's salvation.
[00:55] ---
    "Chapter Two: Amaterasu"
[01:00] ---
    Raffles and his disciples used the flame
    bestowed by the great Sol
[01:05] ---
    and the technology cultivated
    by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
[01:10] ---
    The sacred flame of Amaterasu
    benefited the lives of mankind,
[01:15] ---
    and ended up establishing the foundation
    of a state in the Far East.
[01:47] ---
    "Shinra + Hebio Squad"
[01:49] ---
    Crewman Shinra, I'm Lieutenant Hebio.
    I'm looking forward to working with you.
[01:53] ---
    I look forward to working with you.
[01:55] ---
    I hear you have experience
    with missions in the Nether.
[01:58] ---
    We'll be counting on you.
[02:00] ---
    Yes, sir.
[02:05] ---
    We've never embarked on a mission
    as split up as this before.
[02:08] ---
    Is leaving Arthur on his own a good idea?
[02:11] ---
    I did give them a handbook
    on how to handle him, but...
[02:14] ---
    "Arthur + Heckler Squad"
[02:14] ---
    Gentlemen, your attention!
    My name is Arthur Boyle, the Knight King!
[02:19] ---
    You will follow my orders!
[02:21] ---
    I am in command here!
[02:23] ---
    Hmm? Who are you, barbarian?
    Bow yourself to me, you fool!
[02:26] ---
    What did you...?
[02:28] ---
    Lieutenant Heckler!
[02:30] ---
    According to the Company 8
    Arthur Boyle Care and Feeding Manual,
[02:34] ---
    if you lead him along appropriately,
[02:35] ---
    he will work for you with moderate compliance.
[02:42] ---
    King Arthur, I am Commander Heckler,
    head of the order,
[02:45] ---
    and have been placed in command here!
[02:47] ---
    Very well. You may take command.
[02:49] ---
    "Hinawa + Engo Squad"
[02:49] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa, I look forward to
    working with you today.
[02:53] ---
    I am the one looking forward
    to working with you.
[02:57] ---
    Hey, who are you?!
[02:58] ---
    Let me through! I'm coming with you!
[03:01] ---
    Takigi Oze, CID. I've been
    authorized to join you.
[03:05] ---
    Detective Oze, in your condition...
[03:07] ---
    It's not a problem. I won't
    do anything to slow you down.
[03:11] ---
    I want to see the results
    of my investigation for myself.
[03:14] ---
    Detective Oze...
[03:15] ---
    You're Lieutenant Hinawa,
    the one who tricked Maki.
[03:18] ---
    Tricked?
[03:21] ---
    In an emergency, I will protect you personally,
[03:22] ---
    so you can focus on your--
[03:24] ---
    I don't need any of your help!
[03:25] ---
    Don't think less of me because I'm a detective!
[03:31] ---
    At least wear this turnout coat.
[03:35] ---
    Thank you.
[03:48] ---
    All right,
[03:49] ---
    into the Nether!
[04:02] ---
    Ugh, a shopping center
    inside the Nether. How creepy.
[04:03] ---
    "Tamaki + Kagenashi Squad"
[04:09] ---
    "+ Juggernaut"
[04:09] ---
    Yes! The same squad as Kotatsu-san!
[04:12] ---
    Juggernaut, you're acting pretty calm,
    considering. This is the Nether!
[04:16] ---
    Huh? Oh, mm-hmm. I grew up
    out in the country, where it was always dark,
[04:21] ---
    so the darkness doesn't bother me at all.
[04:23] ---
    Are you serious?
[04:28] ---
    That's amazing, given how dark this is.
[04:30] ---
    K-K-Kotatsu-san is clinging to me!
[04:34] ---
    Now I wish I hadn't worn so many layers!
[04:38] ---
    Juggernaut, is that Crewman Kotatsu,
    the one you're always talking about?
[04:42] ---
    Hey, Hajiki-senpai!
[04:43] ---
    I'm Company 2 First Class Fire Soldier
    and Platoon Leader Hajiki.
[04:47] ---
    "Special Fire Force Company 2"
    "Platoon Leader"
    "Amon Hajiki"
[04:50] ---
    I'm a little bit forgetful,
    but nice to meet you.
[04:54] ---
    Hey! Hajiki-senpai, how could you
    do that to Kotatsu-san?!
[04:58] ---
    No way, was that me?
[05:00] ---
    I can't shut off my lucky lechery!
[05:04] ---
    Why are you undressed?
    Did I lose my memories? Lucky lechery?
[05:09] ---
    Hajiki-senpai, what are you doing?!
[05:11] ---
    Have I done something?
    Have I lost my memories again?
[05:17] ---
    I wonder if there's a hospital
    here in the Nether.
[05:21] ---
    --Huh?! An explosion?!
    --Now what?! Burning lechery?
[05:26] ---
    Medic! Medic!
[05:33] ---
    "Licht + Ohana Squad"
[05:33] ---
    Did you get your thermal sensors set?
[05:36] ---
    All finished.
[05:38] ---
    Man,
[05:39] ---
    this is like being in that
    zombie movie I just watched.
[05:43] ---
    Lieutenant Ohana!
[05:44] ---
    What is it?!
[05:45] ---
    Please come over here, sir!
[05:59] ---
    Infernals, down in the Nether?
[06:00] ---
    And this many of them?
[06:07] ---
    No!
[06:13] ---
    There is an abundance of bodies
    in the Nether, left undisposed-of,
[06:18] ---
    from the Great Cataclysm.
[06:21] ---
    The Knights of the Ashen Flame
[06:23] ---
    aren't the only knights
    serving under the Evangelist.
[06:26] ---
    Let's go, Knights of the Purple Haze.
[06:31] ---
    "Knights of the Purple Haze"
[08:06] ---
    "Episode 20:
    Weapon of Destruction"
[08:12] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul
    return to the great flame of fire.
[08:18] ---
    Látom.
[08:23] ---
    Natasha, once this next mission
    is over, we'll get married.
[08:28] ---
    I'm so happy, Jonas.
[08:35] ---
    Jonas!
[08:39] ---
    Th-They got Jonas!
[08:42] ---
    Damn it!
[08:45] ---
    I'll take time off and
    be back the day you deliver.
[08:48] ---
    I'm sure he'll be a healthy boy,
    just like you, Anton.
[08:54] ---
    Anton!
[08:57] ---
    Fire! Fire!
[09:01] ---
    Once this next mission is over,
[09:03] ---
    I'm putting on these
    brand-spanking-new sneakers.
[09:13] ---
    Are you all right?! Watch yourself!
[09:15] ---
    Lucky for me, my life flashing
    before my eyes was so lackluster--
[09:24] ---
    Anton...?
[09:33] ---
    The fallen crewmen...!
[09:43] ---
    The bodies of the killed crewmen
    are walking around!
[09:47] ---
    It's that White-Clad woman we fought at Haijima,
[09:49] ---
    whose power is to control dead bodies!
[09:55] ---
    Damn it, this isn't getting us anywhere--
[10:11] ---
    Yes, of course!
[10:14] ---
    Anybody from the 8th!
[10:20] ---
    Necro Pyro.
[10:22] ---
    Fight and kill each other.
[10:26] ---
    --Wah! Let me go! Let me go!
[10:29] ---
    --Juggernaut!
    --Wah! Let me go! Let me go!
[10:30] ---
    Honestly, there's no helping that guy.
[10:35] ---
    Ju--!
[10:36] ---
    H-Hajiki-senpai! What if you had hit me?!
[10:41] ---
    If I didn't have so many layers on,
    this could have been bad!
[10:43] ---
    Relax, I know what's what inside there.
[10:46] ---
    You lean left-of-center, don't you?
[10:48] ---
    No, right! Boy, you sure are
    forgetful, Hajiki-senpai.
[10:52] ---
    You didn't get hit even once by that?
[10:55] ---
    As bundled up as I am,
    of course it would be hard to hit me.
[10:59] ---
    Huh?
[11:03] ---
    Both of you, stay behind me.
[11:06] ---
    Crewman Kotatsu, the prayer, if you would?
[11:08] ---
    Oh, right.
[11:21] ---
    Platoon Leader Hajiki, behind you!
[11:28] ---
    Incredible! What fancy shooting!
[11:31] ---
    Elegant, isn't he? I wish I could do that.
[11:34] ---
    It's like Platoon Leader Hajiki
    has eyes in the back of his head.
[11:38] ---
    Hajiki-senpai was chosen as
    the MVP unpowered rookie crewman
[11:41] ---
    at the Rookie Games five years ago,
    as I understand it.
[11:45] ---
    Huh? He's unpowered?!
[11:47] ---
    No...
[11:48] ---
    The truth is, thanks to his usual forgetfulness,
[11:52] ---
    he just forgot his ability on his application.
[11:55] ---
    Hajiki-senpai's ability is there, in his eyes.
[12:01] ---
    Just like a thermal scope, he can see
    the heat being emitted by objects,
[12:06] ---
    and can even see targets through walls.
[12:08] ---
    I heard that at the Rookie Games,
    he went straight to the goal.
[12:13] ---
    Save those in need of rescuing,
[12:15] ---
    then reach the crewman
    playing the Infernal first!
[12:19] ---
    Up there, on the fourth floor.
[12:26] ---
    So that's why when he
    riddled you with bullets earlier,
[12:30] ---
    he was able to avoid hitting you.
[12:32] ---
    Hajiki-senpai can see what I have
    going on even under all these layers.
[12:58] ---
    All finished. Putting-to-rest complete.
[13:03] ---
    You saved us! I'm so glad
    I'm with you, Hajiki-senpai!
[13:09] ---
    Thanks for waiting.
    Can you use your ability to see
[13:13] ---
    where the other crewmen
    we got separated from are?
[13:15] ---
    I sure can.
[13:17] ---
    Let's rejoin them right now.
[13:22] ---
    A White-Clad!
[13:24] ---
    Hold on. This one is...
[13:48] ---
    I am Orochi, Knight of the Purple Haze,
    she who teareth her foes asunder.
[13:54] ---
    Do not carry on so.
    I will send you to join him now.
[13:59] ---
    It can't be...! Hajiki-senpai just got...!
[14:04] ---
    Juggernaut...
[14:06] ---
    ...is in total panic mode.
    I have to do something.
[14:15] ---
    Platoon Leader Hajiki
    got taken out in an instant.
[14:20] ---
    What is her weapon? What did she use?
[14:24] ---
    If not even Platoon Leader Hajiki
    could avoid her attack with his eyes...
[14:28] ---
    ...then I don't have a chance of avoiding her.
[14:31] ---
    But if her attack itself is made of flame,
[14:35] ---
    then with my high tolerance to flame,
    I might be able to withstand it.
[14:39] ---
    Ho...
[14:42] ---
    What have we here?
[14:47] ---
    You can withstand this?
[14:56] ---
    Intriguing. I'm laying into you
    to slice you, but it's bouncing off.
[15:01] ---
    It's as though I'm attacking a rubber ball.
[15:08] ---
    If I can't cut you, I'll run you through.
[15:13] ---
    It's only a matter of time
    before I gouge out your insides.
[15:17] ---
    Your high tolerance
    will only mean you suffer more.
[15:21] ---
    You'll be out of your misery soon.
[15:24] ---
    If you ever get in trouble again,
    call for me anytime.
[15:29] ---
    Kusakabe...
[15:35] ---
    Help me...
[15:40] ---
    ...hero...
[16:10] ---
    "2"?
[16:14] ---
    Hey, you!
[16:40] ---
    F-Fire!
[16:43] ---
    Come on, man. You're even afraid
    of the fire from this lighter?
[16:47] ---
    If you're afraid of something,
    it doesn't matter if it's big or small!
[16:50] ---
    Despite being as big as you are?
[16:56] ---
    You won't be able to protect
    your favorite girl if you're a mousy guy.
[17:00] ---
    No girl would ever give me a second look anyway.
[17:05] ---
    Have faith in yourself.
[17:07] ---
    You have a tremendous
    amount of firepower, after all.
[17:10] ---
    I'm sure you also have enough
    courage to go with your size.
[17:16] ---
    Don't be afraid of a little flame.
[17:19] ---
    I'm sorry, Hajiki-senpai.
    This is all because I'm so pathetic.
[17:25] ---
    I have to stop being such a whiner all the time.
[17:28] ---
    I have to protect Kotatsu-san!
[17:40] ---
    I'm strong! Yes I am! And big!
[17:53] ---
    Medusa Whip!
[17:56] ---
    She's defending against that heavy a barrage?
[17:58] ---
    Such is the strand count
    and torque of my Medusa Whip!
[18:07] ---
    Spinning my whip defensively
    creates a barricade,
[18:10] ---
    while simultaneously attacking
    with the force of each strand--
[18:14] ---
    Medusa Whip.
[18:16] ---
    "Medusa Whip"
[18:18] ---
    So it is.
[18:20] ---
    Your tactic of merely scattering
    attacks about is easily defeated.
[18:25] ---
    In that case...!
[18:29] ---
    "Human-to-Surface Rocket: HSR"
[18:37] ---
    Even that?!
[18:39] ---
    You surface-dwellers are feeble.
    This is the Nether!
[18:45] ---
    What exactly do you have going on inside there?
[18:49] ---
    First I face a girl with high flame tolerance,
    and now a hollow man?
[18:54] ---
    I am facing many opponents today
    worth striking down!
[19:01] ---
    Looks like I finally hit you.
[19:06] ---
    I'm strong.
[19:07] ---
    J... J... Juggernaut...
[19:12] ---
    Kotatsu-san!
[19:13] ---
    It's okay, Kotatsu-san!
    I promise you, I won't lose!
[19:17] ---
    I'm going to avenge Hajiki-senpai!
[19:20] ---
    I can't bear to be the coward forever!
[19:24] ---
    Takeru, so this is where ya done run off to?
[19:29] ---
    Ma, I don't wanna go to no army.
    I wanna look after the potatoes.
[19:35] ---
    Ya ain't gotta choice. Takeru,
    'member, yer a third generation.
[19:39] ---
    Ya gotta go join the Tokyo Fire Force
[19:42] ---
    'cuz it'd be too dangerous
    if ya don't do nothin'.
[19:44] ---
    The potato fields ya love so much
    could go to their 'ternal reward, too.
[19:49] ---
    Come on.
[19:50] ---
    You're a man, aren't you? Don't be so jittery.
[19:54] ---
    Hajiki-senpai, you're asking the impossible.
[19:58] ---
    You won't be able to protect anyone like this.
[20:01] ---
    I'm here because I had no choice.
[20:04] ---
    I didn't become a Fire Soldier
    because I wanted to.
[20:08] ---
    Being a Fire Soldier is a job for brave people.
[20:11] ---
    I know it's not a job that I'm cut out for.
[20:15] ---
    Not so fast. Only you know who you really are.
[20:20] ---
    Are you absolutely sure?
[20:23] ---
    Yer so timid for somebody who's so big, Takeru.
[20:27] ---
    But ya gotta huge flame to go with
    yer huge body, and yer ma's proud of ya.
[20:32] ---
    I just wanna live simple,
    workin' muh fields is all.
[20:36] ---
    That's dizzy talk! Potato fields're big things.
[20:40] ---
    It's no job fer a small man, y'know.
[20:48] ---
    I'm a great big Fire Soldier!
[20:52] ---
    Stop struggling, simpleton!
    All you're good for is getting hit!
[21:08] ---
    Juggernaut!
[21:10] ---
    It looks like my whips have
    at last located your insides.
[21:18] ---
    I'm going to be a man!
[21:20] ---
    I'm going to have courage!
[21:23] ---
    You will never lay so much as a finger on me!
[21:30] ---
    I'll slice you to ribbons.
[21:43] ---
    What is with this guy?
[21:44] ---
    There's no stopping him.

[00:03] ---
    What is with this guy? There's no stopping him.
[00:34] ---
    Juggernaut!
[00:40] ---
    Juggernaut...
[00:48] ---
    I have to stop the bleeding.
[00:50] ---
    We need to move, fast,
    before more Infernals come.
[00:54] ---
    Kotatsu-san, you should get away by yourself...
[00:57] ---
    I don't think I can stand up anymore...
[01:01] ---
    I can't feel my left leg...
[01:05] ---
    I think it's probably...
[01:07] ---
    There's no way I'm leaving you here!
[01:10] ---
    You should get away from here, quickly...
[01:14] ---
    If you try... to carry a big lug like me
    with you... it'll slow you down...
[01:24] ---
    It feels like now, at the end, I was as big
    a man on the inside as on the outside...
[01:33] ---
    Yeah, you were amazing! You defeated
    a White-Clad all by yourself!
[01:38] ---
    It's all thanks to you... that I was
    able to avenge Hajiki-senpai...
[01:46] ---
    You gave me courage...
[01:51] ---
    You made me a man...
[01:54] ---
    That's why I have no regrets...
[01:59] ---
    I would like to have seen my potato fields
    back home one last time, though...
[02:04] ---
    But having you watch over me...
    that seems like asking too much...
[02:11] ---
    I couldn't ask for more than to
    pass in the Nether... like a potato...
[02:17] ---
    You dummy! You dug your
    potatoes up, didn't you?!
[02:20] ---
    Potatoes have to last
    until they're above ground!
[02:27] ---
    Juggernaut...?
[02:39] ---
    I swear I will take Juggernaut
    back to the surface!
[04:13] ---
    "Episode 21:
    Enemy Contact"
[04:20] ---
    We're dead! Damn it!
[04:21] ---
    Fire! Fire! He's already dead!
[04:27] ---
    This is the doing of the Evangelist's men.
[04:29] ---
    --Maki was fighting people as dangerous as this?
    --Not you, too! No!
[04:33] ---
    I assume you had Maki safely supporting
    the rest of you from the rear?
[04:37] ---
    We had her on the front line
    as a meat shield, naturally.
[04:40] ---
    You used my sister as a meat shield?!
[04:48] ---
    We're on the battlefield. Please pay attention.
[04:50] ---
    You just told me the most outrageous--
[04:53] ---
    It's just one thing after another.
[04:56] ---
    Now what?
[05:03] ---
    I am Iron, Knight of the Purple Haze!
    I will burn away you surface scum!
[05:09] ---
    He's a White-Clad.
[05:15] ---
    To announce himself
    on the battlefield like that,
[05:17] ---
    he must be Arthur levels of stupid.
[05:20] ---
    Hmm? Were those mosquito bites or something?
[05:24] ---
    My gun had no effect. What's going on here?
[05:27] ---
    I have a lot more questions to ask you
    about Maki. Stay behind me.
[05:31] ---
    Wishful thinking! You cannot even
    scratch my steely body with that thing!
[05:42] ---
    The squad has gone into complete panic mode.
[05:47] ---
    How many are dead?
    Lives are being lost way too easily.
[05:52] ---
    Concentrate. Feel the life around you.
[06:01] ---
    Who's there?!
[06:13] ---
    Long time, Shinra Kusakabe.
[06:17] ---
    Dr. Giovanni!
[06:18] ---
    What are you scheming down here in the Nether?!
[06:21] ---
    Was the lab that Detective Oze
    discovered one of yours?!
[06:24] ---
    How many have you killed?!
    What are you trying to do?! Answer me!
[06:28] ---
    The lab was nothing more than chum in the water.
[06:32] ---
    And the Fire Force fell for the trap,
    hook, line, and sinker.
[06:37] ---
    What?!
[06:38] ---
    And now, Shinra Kusakabe,
[06:41] ---
    you will come and join us,
    along with your brother.
[06:45] ---
    Where is Sho?!
[06:47] ---
    I came customized for combat.
    Not like anything you've seen before.
[06:55] ---
    What was that?!
[06:59] ---
    I told you, I'm not like
    anything you've seen before.
[07:02] ---
    This body has an increased
    affinity with the Insects.
[07:06] ---
    Affinity? What did you...
[07:10] ---
    ...do to your body?
[07:15] ---
    I hear the 2nd and the 8th
[07:16] ---
    are conducting a joint large-scale
    investigation in the Nether.
[07:19] ---
    Are we finally going to find out
    who the White-Clad are?
[07:25] ---
    Not the Nether again...
[07:30] ---
    Crewman Kusakabe, are you all right?!
[07:33] ---
    Stay out of this.
[07:35] ---
    What do you take people for?
    What have you done to your body?!
[07:48] ---
    Insect legs?
[07:52] ---
    Damn it, now we're up against monsters?!
[07:55] ---
    Fire! Fire!
[08:06] ---
    Get back, please! I'll take this one!
[08:12] ---
    Evacuating the wounded takes first priority.
[08:15] ---
    I have to draw Dr. Giovanni away.
[08:17] ---
    You insist on protecting the wounded?
[08:21] ---
    Our objective here is you.
    Why don't you worry about yourself?
[08:27] ---
    If I use my speed to close the distance
    in a flash and hammer him--
[08:30] ---
    No matter how much faith
    you place in your speed,
[08:33] ---
    you have to do better than just charge into me.
[08:37] ---
    How did he know what I was thinking?
[08:39] ---
    Hair-pencils.
[08:42] ---
    Organs that only male moths possess,
    which utilize pheromones.
[08:47] ---
    They are able to release and detect pheromones.
[08:50] ---
    I took this capability, expanded upon it,
[08:53] ---
    and developed the ability to read
    human emotional and psychological states.
[08:58] ---
    I know what you're thinking.
    You might say a little bug told me.
[09:05] ---
    What is it with you and Insects?
    What are those things?!
[09:09] ---
    I'm sure you've heard the theory, right?
[09:11] ---
    About how Insects are
    an extraterrestrial life form
[09:15] ---
    who landed here as eggs attached to
    a meteor? Just as that theory states,
[09:19] ---
    the Insects are not of this world.
[09:23] ---
    They are creatures from Adolla.
[09:26] ---
    I have been performing experiments to
    prove that if you fuse an Adollan Insect
[09:29] ---
    with a human being,
    they can get closer to Adolla.
[09:33] ---
    You mean you experimented on yourself
[09:36] ---
    to alter your compatibility
    with Insects and Adolla?!
[09:39] ---
    No need to be impatient; I will show you
    the results of my experiments!
[09:47] ---
    This is a time for the Knight King
    himself to bring up the rear.
[09:50] ---
    Take the wounded and find
    an exit to the surface at once.
[09:53] ---
    Thanks a million.
[10:07] ---
    In battle, I am a one-man army!
    My sword possessed with a divine frenzy!
[10:20] ---
    He left us.
[10:22] ---
    What does he think bringing up the rear means?
[10:25] ---
    He missed one of them!
[10:27] ---
    Fall back! Fall back!
[10:33] ---
    I won't let you get away with this!
[10:35] ---
    What are you talking about?
    You're all caught in our trap.
[10:47] ---
    The plasma user...?
[10:50] ---
    Arthur! What are you doing here?
    What happened to your squad?
[10:54] ---
    The Knight King brought up
    their rear to let them get away.
[10:58] ---
    Are you sure the "rear" is
    supposed to come way up here?
[11:00] ---
    Hmph, what does a fool like you know
    about the rear guard, anyway?
[11:04] ---
    There are now two of you? No matter.
[11:09] ---
    I was just wondering what I was
    going to do with all these legs.
[11:25] ---
    Please stay behind me! This one is dangerous!
[11:32] ---
    No, you stay behind me!
[11:42] ---
    "Martensite"
[11:47] ---
    He repelled them?
[11:48] ---
    Sergeant, are you sure you even hit him?!
[11:50] ---
    I'm beginning to have doubts
    about your marksmanship!
[11:53] ---
    You lured Maki over to the Fire Force,
    when she's not cut out for that work.
[11:58] ---
    Your eye for judging people
    is as off the mark as your aim.
[12:06] ---
    That steam is out of this world.
[12:08] ---
    He must be a type of
    third generation pyrokinetic
[12:11] ---
    who uses his pyrokinesis within his body.
[12:13] ---
    That won't work! That won't work!
[12:16] ---
    My steely body is as hard as nails!
[12:22] ---
    Martensite!
[12:26] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
    What is up with this guy's body?!
[12:34] ---
    His body can repel bullets
    and smash through pillars.
[12:39] ---
    His body is exceptionally hardened.
[12:43] ---
    Ironclad reasoning! You are correct!
[12:47] ---
    You've heard of the tempering
    that takes place with metal, right?
[12:50] ---
    By heating metal to a high temperature,
[12:53] ---
    and then rapidly cooling it,
[12:55] ---
    the metal forms an extremely
    tough martensite structure.
[13:00] ---
    Its hardness is greater
    than before it was heated.
[13:04] ---
    Using my pyrokinetic abilities,
    I heat the iron content within me.
[13:08] ---
    Then, by quickly cooling myself,
    I can manipulate the hardness of my body!
[13:12] ---
    But I am not merely hardened!
[13:15] ---
    In a sense, I have an unyielding,
    tough-as-steel body!
[13:23] ---
    Hey, Sergeant, are these the kinds of
    monsters that Maki has been fighting?
[13:27] ---
    We learned man-to-man
    combat in the military, too.
[13:30] ---
    Man-to-man? Against someone like that?!
[13:32] ---
    If your opponent has joints in his limbs,
    nothing else about him matters.
[13:36] ---
    Sergeant!
[13:37] ---
    I am a lieutenant with the 8th, now.
[13:43] ---
    Flames! Extra-hard!
[13:47] ---
    We'll come back to Maki later;
    right now, focus on the enemy in front of us!
[13:51] ---
    At least I wish I could, but I can't
    until I get some questions answered!
[13:54] ---
    Please try to focus.
[13:56] ---
    You don't understand a thing about Maki!
    She's a gentle flower garden of a girl!
[14:01] ---
    --Don't drag her into this weirdness!
    --Try to focus.
[14:04] ---
    The Special Fire Force
    claims to put lives first,
[14:07] ---
    but what you do at the 8th
    is simply go berserk with fighting!
[14:11] ---
    I don't want you bunch of barbarians
    involved with the Oze family!
[14:17] ---
    The 8th is not some pack of berserkers.
[14:20] ---
    I mean, I might be, but the 8th is different.
[14:24] ---
    You're savages who can only
    do your work through violence.
[14:28] ---
    Watch out! Please step back!
[14:31] ---
    I was right to leave Maki behind!
[14:33] ---
    I'm never letting her get near
    a situation like this again!
[14:39] ---
    Maki is no longer the delicate girl
    you think she is, Lieutenant Oze!
[14:43] ---
    No, I'd guess not! Not after being with
    barbarians like you, Sergeant!
[14:48] ---
    Flames! Extra-crispy-hard!
[15:00] ---
    How long are you going to
    use that wimpy pea-shooter?
[15:02] ---
    You get it already, don't you?
[15:04] ---
    If I'm going to hit his weak points,
[15:06] ---
    I have to shoot with absolute accuracy,
    before his guard is up.
[15:08] ---
    Flaming crispy-hard fist!
[15:12] ---
    Shut up! I'm trying to
    talk about my sister here!
[15:14] ---
    I'm sick of your flames,
    and I'm going to strip them away!
[15:18] ---
    You're the one who needs to
    shut up, Lieutenant Oze.
[15:25] ---
    Ricochet Control!
[15:27] ---
    "Ricochet Control"
[15:33] ---
    I don't care how hard you make your body,
[15:36] ---
    you can't harden your joints, too,
    if you want to move about.
[15:40] ---
    Yeah, that's true. That's why
    I couldn't be a protector...
[15:45] ---
    ...despite being this rock-hard...
[15:54] ---
    If we had left Maki there at the 8th,
[15:57] ---
    she might have become as buff as this guy.
[16:01] ---
    Butt out of the Oze family.
[16:02] ---
    Please try to focus.
[16:10] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[16:12] ---
    May thy soul...
[16:16] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire. Látom.
[16:21] ---
    Damn it, there's no end to them.
[16:26] ---
    Juggernaut...
[16:29] ---
    I swear, I'm taking you out of here.
[16:36] ---
    I don't see Orochi around. Where is she?
[16:39] ---
    Two more of those pointy hoods?
[16:42] ---
    What's this? There's a straggler.
[16:45] ---
    Girl, are you the one who finished Orochi?
[16:52] ---
    I'm no match!
[17:00] ---
    There's no way I can beat them...
    I have no choice but to run...
[17:06] ---
    Just me, by myself?
[17:11] ---
    No way! I can't leave Juggernaut behind!
[17:24] ---
    I'm impressed that a nobody like you
    lasted this long in here.
[17:29] ---
    You must have been saved by something,
    and lucky enough to live.
[17:34] ---
    Die!
[17:44] ---
    Tamaki! Are you all right?!
[17:46] ---
    Thank God!
[17:49] ---
    Juggernaut...
[17:54] ---
    Way to hang in there! Well done!
[17:57] ---
    Now, stay behind me.
[17:59] ---
    Captain...
[18:01] ---
    Hmm, "Captain"?
[18:05] ---
    This saves us some trouble.
    We were just about to come hunting you.
[18:10] ---
    Bring it on.
[18:11] ---
    Captain of the 8th,
[18:14] ---
    what does an unpowered like you plan to do
    against us, who can control flames?
[18:18] ---
    Captain Obi, keep back!
[18:21] ---
    Hmph, come back to the Nether
    when you can make a match's worth of fire!
[18:27] ---
    Whoo!
[18:41] ---
    I train for this!
[18:44] ---
    Every day, until I breathe fire!
[18:46] ---
    Sasori was taken out with one blow.
[18:49] ---
    I beg your pardon. Even without powers,
    you're still the captain of the 8th.
[18:55] ---
    No matter! I will not go down so easily!
[19:01] ---
    Gwah!
[19:04] ---
    Dosukoi!
[19:08] ---
    Th-They're so strong.
[19:10] ---
    They aren't the captains for nothing.
[19:14] ---
    We were worried when we lost contact
    with Lieutenant Kagenashi.
[19:19] ---
    I'm glad you're all right.
[19:21] ---
    I was pathetic. All I ever do
    is have others protect me.
[19:26] ---
    Even now, if you and the others
    hadn't come along...
[19:31] ---
    Must be your "lucky delivery," huh, Tamaki?
[19:37] ---
    --Wah! I...! I...!
    --Whoa, I-I'm sorry.
[19:41] ---
    Vulcan-san, that was the wrong call.
    This isn't the time.
[19:46] ---
    No, survival is what makes the Fire Soldier.
[19:51] ---
    And Tamaki, you are a fine Fire Soldier.
[19:54] ---
    You've lived to thwart the enemy's plans!
[19:59] ---
    Yes, sir!
[20:03] ---
    Attention, all Special Fire Force
    Company 2 personnel!
[20:07] ---
    All squads, assemble!
[20:12] ---
    I've long been told that the way I run
    is funny. I've been laughed at.
[20:18] ---
    That's why I hate running!
    But if I don't run away, I'll get killed...
[20:23] ---
    ...by Infernals!
[20:25] ---
    I don't want to die before
    learning the truth of this world!
[20:29] ---
    So I have to run! Even if I do run funny!
[20:41] ---
    Crewman Tamaki!
[20:42] ---
    Licht-san?!
[20:43] ---
    --Hey, watch your hands!
    --First lechery, then delivery,
    then lechery again. She's having a busy day.
[20:45] ---
    --I don't even care about that!
    My life is saved!
    --First lechery, then delivery, then lechery again. She's having a busy day.
[20:47] ---
    --I don't even care about that!
    My life is saved!
    --If you're gonna get lechered, you could at least be grateful!
[20:50] ---
    Licht, where is Lieutenant Ohana?
[20:53] ---
    Oh, the squad was wiped out.
    I'm the only one who escaped with his life.
[21:00] ---
    I see.
[21:02] ---
    You got here just in time. Take a look at this.
[21:06] ---
    Not even a moment to catch my breath, huh?
[21:08] ---
    It's a graph of the thermal
    sensors each squad placed.
[21:12] ---
    Heat sources that I believe to be Infernals
    are located at regular intervals.
[21:17] ---
    Do mindless Infernals behave
    in such an orderly fashion?
[21:21] ---
    I can't tell for sure from just this,
    but it is eerie, huh?
[21:25] ---
    The attacks by Infernals have
    suddenly stopped, and they've fallen quiet.
[21:31] ---
    The heat energy of Infernals,
    each lined up at regular intervals...
[21:36] ---
    --The enemy is planning to
    blow up the Nether facilities!
    --They're what?!
[21:39] ---
    This is bad! We have to do something fast,
    or this will be a disaster!
[21:48] ---
    What fools. You did not even know
    you were being lured right into the Nether.
[21:54] ---
    With my ability, Necro Pyro,
[21:57] ---
    I will sink all of Tokyo into the ground.
[22:01] ---
    I can make up the energy I was lacking
[22:03] ---
    by using the Fire Soldiers
    that have become Infernals.
[22:07] ---
    They didn't even know they were being lured in,
[22:09] ---
    and now, luckily for us,
    they waltz on down here in large numbers,
[22:15] ---
    as human bombs.
[22:17] ---
    All that remains now is to secure
    the Fourth Pillar, Shinra Kusakabe.

[00:19] ---
    Violet Flash!
[00:25] ---
    He avoided that?!
[00:27] ---
    That one was pretty fast.
    If I hadn't read your pheromones,
[00:31] ---
    I wouldn't have dodged you.
[00:32] ---
    You're so gross!
[00:36] ---
    Bombardier Beetle!
[00:42] ---
    Get off me, you idiot!
[00:44] ---
    --At least let me get out of the way!
    --Ow... hot... hot...!
[00:47] ---
    Superheated gas. There's no escaping it.
[00:50] ---
    What are you all sneaking around
    in the Nether about?!
[00:55] ---
    Everything is ready.
[00:57] ---
    Our presence in the Nether
    is only a matter of time now.
[01:00] ---
    What?
[01:01] ---
    The extinction of this world is imminent.
[01:05] ---
    Very shortly, the Pillars will be gathered,
[01:07] ---
    and the Evangelist's plan will be completed.
[01:10] ---
    We're going to put a stop to that plan!
[01:13] ---
    Haven't you discovered in your investigations
[01:15] ---
    that the Tokyo Empire was created
    by means of the Evangelist's plan?
[01:21] ---
    As were the Holy Sol Temple
    and Amaterasu, all for this moment.
[01:26] ---
    It is mankind itself that wishes to
    perish more than anything, isn't it?
[01:32] ---
    There is no stopping it now.
[01:35] ---
    You say that mankind wishes to perish?
[01:37] ---
    Our mission as Fire Soldiers is to
    protect people's lives and property.
[01:42] ---
    Don't go deciding things for everyone!
[01:47] ---
    Are you saying that the Fire Force
    will deprive humanity of its chance
[01:51] ---
    to arrive at a higher plane
    by passing through destruction?
[01:58] ---
    Well, no matter. You will find out soon enough.
[02:03] ---
    Just like your brother did.
[02:05] ---
    What?!
[02:08] ---
    What happened to Sho?
[02:10] ---
    He is standing by quietly.
    Almost as though he were a puppet.
[02:22] ---
    I've always wanted one of these--
[02:25] ---
    a doll as pretty as this one.
[02:31] ---
    Don't look away, Arrow.
    You stand there quietly and watch.
[02:39] ---
    Watch as I play with my doll.
[04:18] ---
    "Episode 22:
    Plot for Extinction"
[04:24] ---
    Where...
[04:26] ---
    ...is Sho right now?
[04:28] ---
    He is where the Pillars need to be,
    prior to the coming of the Great Cataclysm.
[04:35] ---
    Your brother is on his
    best behavior, unlike you.
[04:39] ---
    By now, he is probably Haumea's plaything.
[04:47] ---
    Even if you can read my mind, I just have to
    move faster than you can react!
[04:54] ---
    No one is there. Did he vanish?
[04:57] ---
    I'm right here.
[04:59] ---
    Non!
[05:06] ---
    Such tremendous acceleration...
[05:19] ---
    It seems you do not intend to come with us.
[05:22] ---
    I once sensed the kind of bloodlust you possess.
[05:25] ---
    There's no way I'd ever trust anyone
    with a heart as sinister as yours!
[05:29] ---
    Sensed?
[05:31] ---
    Then you and I were connected?
    Via an Adolla Link?
[05:36] ---
    You're certain you heard my voice, right?
[05:38] ---
    Yeah! So what if I did?!
[05:41] ---
    That's incredible! I'm so glad
    you told me! Thank you! Thank you!
[05:46] ---
    You're saying that a mere human like me
    connected to you through Adolla?
[05:50] ---
    Only those who are connected to Adolla
    can undergo an Adolla Link!
[05:54] ---
    My Insect experiments!
    This is the fruit borne of them!
[05:58] ---
    I have become closer to Adolla!
[06:00] ---
    Then are you saying that
    I can't hear the voices of those
[06:03] ---
    who have never connected with Adolla?
[06:04] ---
    It stands to reason! An Adolla Link
[06:07] ---
    can only be achieved between those
    who have an Adolla Burst,
[06:11] ---
    or have been in contact with Adolla.
[06:17] ---
    Hold on. I've heard the voices of others
    through an Adolla Link twice before.
[06:21] ---
    Once with Dr. Giovanni...
[06:24] ---
    Kill Vulcan.
[06:26] ---
    ...and the other time was...
[06:28] ---
    Shinra!
[06:32] ---
    ...with Lieutenant Konro.
[06:34] ---
    If you can't have an Adolla Link
    without an Adolla Burst,
[06:37] ---
    then how did I hear Lieutenant Konro?
[06:40] ---
    Is something the matter?
[06:41] ---
    Shut up!
[06:43] ---
    The Evangelist resides
    not in this world, but in Adolla.
[06:47] ---
    How are you going to stop the Evangelist,
    who is in another world?
[06:51] ---
    I don't care if you can meddle with
    the higher plane of Adolla,
[06:55] ---
    the most that you can do is peer into it.
[06:58] ---
    Are you saying it's impossible
    for us to go to Adolla?
[07:01] ---
    How are you going to put the fire to rest
    if you do not go to the scene, Fire Soldier?
[07:07] ---
    This world is doomed to do
    nothing else but burn away now.
[07:11] ---
    We humans are nothing more than
    the fuel in which this world will burn!
[07:15] ---
    Humanity has worshipped the sun.
[07:17] ---
    There is no way we will turn down
    burning as brightly as the sun!
[07:22] ---
    Just as the Evangelist has
    instilled upon us, right?!
[07:25] ---
    Ritsu is getting everything ready now.
[07:28] ---
    Allow us to demonstrate now, at the onset,
[07:31] ---
    how people are implements of destruction.
[07:35] ---
    By utilizing the Nether,
[07:37] ---
    the Tokyo Empire on the surface
    will be utterly destroyed.
[07:42] ---
    Demolition?!
[07:43] ---
    Are you certain?
[07:45] ---
    Yes, it's most likely.
[07:47] ---
    The enemy intends to use
    Infernals as a shaped charge.
[07:51] ---
    Shaped charge?
[07:52] ---
    From what I saw of the sensors
    that Vulcan-kun showed me,
[07:55] ---
    the Infernals are positioned
    in this conical arrangement.
[08:00] ---
    Is there some significance to this arrangement?
[08:03] ---
    The shaped charge used in demolition
[08:05] ---
    employs a phenomenon known as
    the Munroe-Neumann effect,
[08:08] ---
    which requires this sort of
    cone-shaped explosive.
[08:12] ---
    When you line the interior of the explosive
    with a thin metal lining, and then detonate it,
[08:16] ---
    the metal forms a jet forced by
    the shockwave from the explosion
[08:19] ---
    straight up through the center of the cone.
[08:22] ---
    The metal flies up
    utilizing the shock of the explosion,
[08:25] ---
    so that jet is powerful enough to blow
    a hole through anything it hits.
[08:30] ---
    With Infernals standing in as explosives
    to create that shaped charge,
[08:33] ---
    they are planning to use minimal firepower
    to produce maximum damage.
[08:37] ---
    Geographically, we are at
    the center of the Tokyo Empire.
[08:41] ---
    The damage will be enormous.
[08:44] ---
    So you're saying that if they perform
    this demolition in the Nether...
[08:49] ---
    The Tokyo Empire will be laid to waste.
[08:55] ---
    Is there anything we can do to prevent it?
[08:58] ---
    I heard what was happening.
[09:00] ---
    I'm late getting back here because
    the man behind me was dragging his feet.
[09:04] ---
    Detective Oze...
[09:05] ---
    I've memorized the entire layout
    of the construction in the Nether.
[09:08] ---
    Is there anything I can do to help?
[09:10] ---
    The critical component of a shaped charge
    is the direction of the jet.
[09:13] ---
    If that can be altered,
    we may be able to get out of this.
[09:17] ---
    To do that, we'll need a second generation
[09:19] ---
    who can control flames over a wide area.
[09:23] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa is
    a master of pinpoint precision,
[09:27] ---
    so he is not suited to this kind of operation.
[09:28] ---
    Tch, you're useless.
[09:31] ---
    Hmm? Hey, hey, hey, hey!
    This is no time for chewing the fat!
[09:35] ---
    They're about to explode!
[09:36] ---
    What do we do?! Are there no other
    second generation pyrokinetics?!
[09:40] ---
    No second generations
    who can affect a wide area.
[09:43] ---
    There's only one person I know of
    who can pull off anything this freakish.
[09:49] ---
    First Class Fire Soldier Maki Oze--
    oh, make that Secretary Oze--
[09:54] ---
    who, as I recall, you took
    away from us, Detective--
[09:56] ---
    Ah! There's no point in talking about
    people who aren't even here!
[09:59] ---
    We'll just have to do it with the
    second generations we have on hand!
[10:02] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa, give me a hand with this!
[10:04] ---
    I can't. I'm useless.
[10:06] ---
    Wha--?!
[10:07] ---
    You toot your own horn
    about putting lives first,
[10:10] ---
    but when it comes down to it,
    the 8th is nothing more than a violent gang!
[10:13] ---
    We will manage something.
    The 8th does put lives first.
[10:17] ---
    If we don't stop this, there will be
    mass casualties on the surface.
[10:22] ---
    Vulcan!
[10:23] ---
    Right!
[10:26] ---
    When it comes to saving lives,
    regulations be damned!
[10:30] ---
    Right...
[10:32] ---
    ...Maki-san?
[10:33] ---
    --Maki?!
    --Maki-san?!
[10:34] ---
    S-Sorry I'm late!
[10:37] ---
    I'm up to speed on the situation, thanks to
    the communicator I got from Vulcan.
[10:40] ---
    The 8th doesn't hold back
    anything from each other.
[10:43] ---
    You're sure about this?
[10:44] ---
    --Yes, sir.
    --What are you doing here?!
[10:46] ---
    It's too dangerous!
[10:47] ---
    Are you still going on about that?
[10:49] ---
    Right now, saving lives comes first.
[10:51] ---
    That doesn't mean you have to
    risk your life to do it!
[10:53] ---
    Why not? You're taking a risk
    by coming down here, too!
[10:56] ---
    But you're a girl!
[10:58] ---
    So I can't stick my neck out
    just because I'm female?
[11:01] ---
    Are you going to take me off
    the front line, like Mom?
[11:04] ---
    I... am going to use my power
    to keep people safe!
[11:08] ---
    Vulcan, let me know when!
[11:10] ---
    You got it. The explosion is near.
    Just stand by as you are.
[11:13] ---
    Maki, there's still time! Hurry up and evacuate!
[11:17] ---
    --Maki!
    --A moment, please!
[11:20] ---
    It's true that with Maki-san's help,
    we can inhibit the shaped charge.
[11:23] ---
    But it will not stop the flames that
    will be produced by the explosion!
[11:27] ---
    There is nowhere in the Nether
    that will allow the flames to escape!
[11:31] ---
    Meaning?
[11:32] ---
    Meaning that those of us still in the Nether...
[11:35] ---
    ...are all about to be roasted to death!
[11:38] ---
    I hate to say!
[11:47] ---
    The way this is heading, we're all dead?!
[11:50] ---
    What are you talking about, Licht?!
[11:51] ---
    If we use Maki-san's ability
    to control the direction
[11:54] ---
    of the Infernal-explosive shaped charge,
[11:56] ---
    we can prevent this facility and
    the rest of Tokyo from being destroyed,
[11:59] ---
    but this is the Nether.
[12:01] ---
    There is nowhere for the flames
    created by the explosion to go,
[12:04] ---
    so we're all going to burn to death
    from the heat of the trapped flames!
[12:07] ---
    Except for Crewman Tamaki, who is heat tolerant.
[12:09] ---
    --Once again, I survive for no reason!
    --Are you serious?
[12:11] ---
    --Once again, I survive for no reason!
    --Oh, God...
[12:13] ---
    What do we do, then?
[12:16] ---
    We are Fire Soldiers!
[12:18] ---
    If this saves the lives of
    all those people on the surface,
[12:20] ---
    then I'm okay with it.
[12:23] ---
    Vulcan, say when!
[12:24] ---
    Yeah, I'm on it!
[12:27] ---
    Is that all right, Captain Obi?
[12:30] ---
    Yeah. We'll find a way
    to survive this on our own.
[12:35] ---
    I don't want to die, either, so I'm thinking...
[12:38] ---
    ...if we can find a place in the Nether
    for the heat to escape through...
[12:43] ---
    But without any data,
    this maze-like Nether is simply...
[12:46] ---
    For my job, I memorized the maps
    of the Nether for the whole empire.
[12:50] ---
    If you include the caved-in facilities,
[12:52] ---
    then maybe there is enough space
    for the heat to escape.
[12:55] ---
    True, if we knew enough about
    the geography in here...
[12:58] ---
    As for the flames themselves,
    there's geothermal dissipation...
[13:00] ---
    If we can use that...
[13:02] ---
    There's no time!
[13:03] ---
    I don't have time to explain,
    so I'll tell you what to do!
[13:11] ---
    Brother...
[13:12] ---
    You just focus on
    controlling the flames right now.
[13:14] ---
    You two being in sync will be crucial!
[13:17] ---
    You have to follow the Nether's
    geography to where I tell you,
[13:20] ---
    and navigate Maki-san's flame control there!
[13:22] ---
    Got it!
[13:25] ---
    The sensors are picking something up!
    Heat sources within 3km are spiking!
[13:36] ---
    Blow!
[13:45] ---
    It's started!
[13:46] ---
    First, please change the direction
    of the shaped charge jet!
[13:49] ---
    If we can redirect the blast wave,
    we can keep the facility from collapsing!
[13:52] ---
    Once the jet is redirected,
    where should we lead the flames?!
[13:59] ---
    Drive them down to the lower floors
    as much as you can!
[14:02] ---
    Right!
[14:04] ---
    I can arrest the flames.
    I won't let them have free rein.
[14:10] ---
    All the flames in the area...
[14:17] ---
    ...are under my control!
[14:23] ---
    This is only the beginning. The real
    extermination of Tokyo is yet to come.
[14:34] ---
    Huh?
[14:39] ---
    Maki, I'll direct you, so you just
    control them like I tell you to.
[14:42] ---
    Right.
[14:43] ---
    Flames can go through places
    where people can no longer pass.
[14:49] ---
    Keep on directing the flames
    to the deepest part of the Nether!
[14:52] ---
    If there's a point where the walls have
    collapsed and bare earth is exposed...
[14:58] ---
    ...then we can avoid the flames' heat
    through geothermic dissipation.
[15:01] ---
    Geothermic dissipation?
[15:03] ---
    We'll exploit the laws of nature
    that keep the ground's temperature
[15:06] ---
    at a constant 18 degrees.
[15:08] ---
    Oh, now I get it!
[15:09] ---
    --You hear that? We're chasing
    the flames into the ground.
    --Right!
[15:13] ---
    Keep on pushing the heat source into the ground!
[15:15] ---
    With brother and sister combining
    their abilities with geothermal laws...
[15:20] ---
    ...over a long enough time,
    the earth will cool off the flames for us!
[15:36] ---
    It looks like it worked.
[15:39] ---
    Hinawa,
[15:41] ---
    if Maki hadn't been here, we, along with
    the rest of Tokyo, would be in a crater.
[15:44] ---
    Maki is a role model for all Fire Soldiers.
[15:47] ---
    She is someone absolutely essential at the 8th.
[15:51] ---
    Your judgment was right on the money.
[15:56] ---
    Did we make it?
[15:59] ---
    Brother,
[16:01] ---
    this is what my...
[16:03] ---
    ...this is what the 8th's job is.
[16:10] ---
    They failed?
[16:12] ---
    Failed? I don't know what you were plotting,
[16:16] ---
    but it looks like it was powerless
    in the face of Fire Soldier teamwork.
[16:20] ---
    Hey, Arthur, let's show him our teamwork, too!
[16:26] ---
    "Non-self"
[16:28] ---
    Non-self...
[16:29] ---
    How did you...?!
[16:30] ---
    Teamwork...?
[16:33] ---
    "Nirvana"
[16:34] ---
    Nirvana...
[16:36] ---
    I am delivered. You can no longer read my mind.
[16:39] ---
    My sword has attained
    the realm of the bodhisattvas.
[16:42] ---
    No, you're just not thinking anything.
[16:45] ---
    That has nothing at all
    to do with being a knight.
[16:48] ---
    Non-self: Without drawing the breath of life,
    a life-taking blow is struck.
[16:53] ---
    This strike, delivered unawares
    to even masters of breath-reading,
[16:57] ---
    imparts a truly fatal blow.
[17:01] ---
    Hmph, villain. Die now.
[17:04] ---
    You didn't even hesitate.
[17:08] ---
    So the 8th has a ruthless professional, does it?
[17:12] ---
    Perhaps I underestimated you
    somewhat without realizing it.
[17:18] ---
    Insects?!
[17:21] ---
    D-Damn it!
[17:29] ---
    Where's Giovanni?!
[17:32] ---
    --Right here.
    --No, dumbass, I mean his head!
[17:37] ---
    My research into the Insects
    has been productive.
[17:40] ---
    I took part in an Adolla Link.
[17:43] ---
    We'll meet again.
[17:47] ---
    Have all of your men been accounted for?
[17:50] ---
    The damage was worse than I imagined.
[17:52] ---
    However, we're now aware of
    just how dangerous the White-Clad are.
[17:56] ---
    If Crewman Oze hadn't been here,
    the damage would have been far worse.
[18:01] ---
    Well, Brother?
[18:03] ---
    Do you understand my--
    the 8th's work a little better now?
[18:09] ---
    Yeah, I guess.
[18:12] ---
    But he's no good! He only
    thinks of you as a meat shield!
[18:16] ---
    Well, I guess it goes without saying now...
[18:27] ---
    ...but I want to return to the 8th.
[18:31] ---
    Indeed. Your ability is
    better suited for the Fire Force.
[18:36] ---
    It's not just my ability;
    my ambitions are a fit for the Fire Force!
[18:41] ---
    I see. I'll start the paperwork
    to have you transferred back to the 8th.
[18:47] ---
    W-Were you testing me, sir?
[18:50] ---
    I was concerned with whether
    a little princess like you...
[18:53] ---
    ...could fight against
    the ever-more-radical White-Clad.
[18:57] ---
    You did well today.
[19:01] ---
    Thank you very much, sir.
[19:04] ---
    Hey! You keep away from the Oze family!
[19:07] ---
    The heat source readings have gone silent.
    We're out of the woods now.
[19:11] ---
    Search for the remains of those
    who have fallen in the line of duty.
[19:14] ---
    Find as many of them as you can.
[19:17] ---
    I will take the wounded and return with them...
[19:22] ---
    ...back to the surface.
[19:28] ---
    It sure is a relief to see the sun again.
[19:32] ---
    What Dr. Giovanni said bothers me.
[19:35] ---
    Only those who have an Adolla Burst
    or have been connected to Adolla
[19:38] ---
    are capable of an Adolla Link?
[19:42] ---
    If that's true...
[19:46] ---
    He's more-or-less okay.
[19:48] ---
    He's lost his right hand and left leg,
    and is burned and cut up from head to toe,
[19:52] ---
    but he's still alive. He's got
    the will to live of a potato.
[19:58] ---
    You really did manage to hang in there...
[20:00] ---
    ...until you were dug up.
[20:02] ---
    Crewman Kotatsu, it's thanks to you
    that Juggernaut survived.
[20:06] ---
    "Dramatic sting"
[20:07] ---
    Thank you.
[20:09] ---
    I'm the one who really got rescued.
[20:12] ---
    If it weren't for Platoon Leader Hajiki
    and Crewman Noto, I...
[20:17] ---
    ...wouldn't be here right now...
[20:20] ---
    If we didn't have the 8th's help,
    we might have all been wiped out.
[20:24] ---
    The military and the Fire Force
    can't afford to be so disconnected.
[20:28] ---
    Tokyo has to unite.
[20:30] ---
    I truly am glad that we made it through this
    without losing you young crewmen.
[20:39] ---
    Are you thinking about Maki?
[20:41] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[20:43] ---
    As of today, she has gone
    back to the Fire Force.
[20:47] ---
    Are you still anxious about her?
[20:49] ---
    I want to let my daughter do as she wishes...
[20:53] ---
    ...but I'm still worried about her.
[20:55] ---
    Maki's ability is a super power
    she got from her mother, after all.
[21:00] ---
    I'm not nearly that strong.
[21:02] ---
    Madoka-chan, when you quit the military
    to become a homemaker,
[21:05] ---
    did you also feel discontent about it?
[21:08] ---
    It's all I can do to keep my own home safe.
[21:12] ---
    But Maki isn't like me.
[21:16] ---
    She may be our innocent,
    adorable little daughter around us,
[21:20] ---
    but she has an incredibly
    powerful strength and will.
[21:24] ---
    Oh yes, and she gets that from you.
[21:29] ---
    Let's watch over our daughter together.
[21:36] ---
    Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
[21:40] ---
    "Platoon Leader"
    "Maki Oze"
[21:43] ---
    At last, Maki-san has made platoon leader.
[21:46] ---
    Very impressive.
[21:49] ---
    When we don't even have a platoon?
[21:51] ---
    Meaning what?
[21:52] ---
    That nothing is different from before.
[21:57] ---
    Are you sure, 8th? You're okay with this?
[22:00] ---
    "Fish Beat"
[22:01] ---
    "Fish Beat"
    "No squads, either"
[22:04] ---
    It's like the 8th is playing
    Fire Force dress-up.
[22:07] ---
    It's nice and peaceful
    when they're all idiots, huh?
[22:09] ---
    You're the one who recruited them.
[22:11] ---
    Still...
[22:17] ---
    ...they're the real deal.
[22:23] ---
    "To be continued"
[23:56] ---
    "Fire Force, Season 2"
[23:58] ---
    "Next time"
[24:00] ---
    I'll try harder, too!

[00:03] ---
    Shinra, tell me everything Dr. Giovanni
    said to you in the Nether.
[00:09] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:13] ---
    An Adolla Link...
[00:15] ---
    ...is a phenomenon that supposedly
    only happens among those
[00:17] ---
    who have an Adolla Burst,
    or who have been in contact with Adolla.
[00:20] ---
    Shinra-kun has connected via
    an Adolla Link to Dr. Giovanni,
[00:24] ---
    as well as...
[00:26] ---
    ...Lieutenant Konro, of the 7th.
[00:31] ---
    Then this man Konro is questionable.
[00:34] ---
    No, there's no way!
[00:36] ---
    Discussing Lieutenant Konro here
    will get us nowhere.
[00:39] ---
    I'm going to go over to the 7th
    and meet with the lieutenant.
[00:42] ---
    If I can find out the reason why
    I Linked with the lieutenant,
[00:45] ---
    we might be one step closer to the Evangelist.
[00:48] ---
    I'm off to see Lieutenant Konro!
[00:53] ---
    Step right up! Buy one now,
    and I'll throw in another one for free!
[01:05] ---
    Asakusa is nice and bustling.
[01:08] ---
    Are you sure we should be dropping in
    without an appointment?
[01:11] ---
    The people at the 7th can't stand
    to sweat the small stuff.
[01:15] ---
    Actually,
[01:16] ---
    why are you even coming along, Captain Hibana?
[01:18] ---
    Konro could have ties to the Evangelist.
[01:22] ---
    You're too nice to others,
    and get fooled easily.
[01:25] ---
    I'm telling you, as far as
    Lieutenant Konro goes, he's on the level.
[01:30] ---
    Oh, the fella from the 8th.
    What brings you here today?
[01:34] ---
    There's something I need to
    talk to Lieutenant Konro about.
[01:37] ---
    Well, he's not here.
[01:38] ---
    He went to a storage shed
    just outside of town on his own.
[01:42] ---
    Okay, I'll go check there for him.
    Thank you very much.
[01:46] ---
    By the way,
[01:47] ---
    you hound dog, bringing such
    a hottie along with you!
[01:51] ---
    Is she your girlfriend?
[01:52] ---
    Girlfriend?
[01:53] ---
    No, she's not! This is the captain of the 5th!
[01:56] ---
    Captain?
[01:57] ---
    Girlfriend...
[01:59] ---
    She really doesn't look like she'd object.
[02:06] ---
    The lieutenant is going off on his own
    to a storage shed with no one else around...
[02:10] ---
    This is getting more and more suspicious.
[02:13] ---
    He must be running some errand.
[02:15] ---
    This is a proto-nationalist
    we're dealing with, too.
[02:18] ---
    There's no telling what he might be up to.
[02:20] ---
    Hold on.
[02:23] ---
    A White-Clad?!
[02:24] ---
    There, you see?!
[02:28] ---
    You've been following me for days now, huh?
[02:31] ---
    Ho, you knew, and still came here alone?
[02:34] ---
    You, a warrior who can't fight
    due to your tephrosis!
[02:41] ---
    If we're doing this, then let's do it already.
[04:14] ---
    "Episode 23:
    Firecat"
[04:20] ---
    Lieutenant Konro...!
[04:22] ---
    He's getting attacked!
    We have to hurry and save him!
[04:24] ---
    Don't be too hasty! This is our chance
    to catch him in the act!
[04:27] ---
    Whoa!
[04:29] ---
    Lieutenant Konro has tephrosis!
[04:36] ---
    Lieutenant of the 7th, you are dead!
[04:55] ---
    Lieutenant Konro!
[04:57] ---
    Shinra?
[05:01] ---
    So what you're saying is,
[05:03] ---
    you and I shared one of
    these "Adolla Link" things?
[05:06] ---
    Yes.
[05:08] ---
    Do you have any idea why? Have you ever
    seen a hellish, alternate world?
[05:18] ---
    I sure have.
[05:19] ---
    Two years ago, during the Great Fire of Asakusa.
[05:23] ---
    The one where that demon appeared in Asakusa?
[05:25] ---
    Yeah. This is when I
    came down with my tephrosis.
[05:46] ---
    This Infernal was unlike any other.
[05:51] ---
    Almost like a mirror image of myself.
[06:01] ---
    Are you trying to replace me?!
[06:07] ---
    Sorry, but you can't do that.
[06:17] ---
    Crimson Moon!
[06:22] ---
    I'll see you in hell!
[06:37] ---
    If that was some other world,
    then it would mean I had an Adolla Link.
[06:42] ---
    You say the demon felt like your
    mirror reflection? Like a doppelganger?
[06:47] ---
    What's a doppelganger?
[06:50] ---
    It's like a double of a person.
[06:53] ---
    There's sort of an urban legend that says
[06:56] ---
    there's someone who looks exactly like you,
    somewhere in the world.
[07:00] ---
    It's nothing more than a ghost story, of course,
[07:04] ---
    but apparently, if you run into your
    doppelganger, it's either kill or be killed.
[07:07] ---
    Yikes!
[07:08] ---
    It did in fact seem like he came to kill me.
[07:11] ---
    And since you killed him instead,
    that makes you one hard-as-nails man.
[07:15] ---
    That's our Lieutenant Konro, all right.
[07:18] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[07:24] ---
    I think I'm going to check into
    doppelgangers a bit more.
[07:27] ---
    As a sophisticated lady, you're pretty smart.
[07:30] ---
    But why would they come after me?
[07:33] ---
    Could it have something to do with
    the fact that you've seen Adolla?
[07:38] ---
    Or your scar...
[07:40] ---
    It seems like those who see Adolla
    tend to get some kind of disfigurement.
[07:45] ---
    So that goes for the others, too...
[07:48] ---
    Still, why would they?
[07:50] ---
    Could it be inconvenient for them
[07:52] ---
    for there to be others who have seen Adolla?
[07:58] ---
    What? Konro, you got attacked?
[08:01] ---
    He was lurking around for so long,
[08:03] ---
    I figured he wouldn't
    show himself until I was alone.
[08:06] ---
    It was amazing! He defeated him in one blow,
    without even using his abilities--
[08:11] ---
    What did you do that
    out of the blue for, you idiot?!
[08:14] ---
    You avoided that.
[08:16] ---
    You did teach me how to detect
    the breath of life, Captain Shinmon.
[08:20] ---
    Which means that you can now fight decently.
[08:23] ---
    Still, the White-Clad are starting to
    become more forceful, too.
[08:27] ---
    They have some people that
    my Rapid and Corna won't work against.
[08:31] ---
    Captain Shinmon, how would you
    fight against someone like that?
[08:37] ---
    You might be able to pull it off now...
[08:42] ---
    I would use the Hysterical Strength
    of the Fight or Flight Response.
[08:45] ---
    Hysterical Strength?
[08:47] ---
    When you're on the verge of a crisis,
[08:48] ---
    and you overcome your limits
    to release all of your latent strength,
[08:53] ---
    it's called Hysterical Strength.
[08:55] ---
    H-How is it done?!
[08:57] ---
    Hell if I know. You figure it out.
[09:00] ---
    Waka, you can't say that when
    you're the one who brought it up.
[09:07] ---
    Go round up the youngsters from your company.
[09:10] ---
    I don't want to have to
    teach this over and over.
[09:12] ---
    Lucky you! Waka is agreeing to
    give you his personal instruction again!
[09:16] ---
    Thank you very much, sir!
[09:19] ---
    I promise you, I'll get even stronger!
[09:29] ---
    The Knight-samurai deigns
    to return to Asakusa once more.
[09:33] ---
    You sure you don't want to be
    the Samurai-knight?
[09:35] ---
    This way means you're a samurai.
[09:38] ---
    Let's cut the nonsense! Forward, men!
[09:42] ---
    Pardon the intrusion.
[09:44] ---
    You're early. Is showing up
    ahead of time the imperial way?
[09:48] ---
    It's you and top-knot head again, then?
[09:50] ---
    Actually, there's one more with us today.
[09:56] ---
    I'm Kotatsu Tamaki!
[09:57] ---
    Please train me, as well!
[10:25] ---
    You're here? You're too early.
[10:28] ---
    We're looking forward again
    to whatever you can teach us.
[10:32] ---
    Hm? What's this? There's one more of you.
[10:37] ---
    I'm well aware that I'm not at the level
    where I'm ready to receive your training.
[10:41] ---
    But I want to be someone other than
    the weak person I am now.
[10:45] ---
    Would you allow me to at least observe?
[10:48] ---
    You want to get stronger?
[10:50] ---
    Yes, sir!
[10:51] ---
    And why is that?
[10:53] ---
    Because I'm so gutless right now
    that I'm a burden on the other crewmen.
[10:58] ---
    If I were stronger, there are lives
    that might have been spared.
[11:03] ---
    Is that a sob story?
[11:06] ---
    No, sir! It's remorse and resolve!
[11:10] ---
    I see. But merely observing is
    likely to bore you out of your mind.
[11:16] ---
    Hey!
[11:19] ---
    --What is it, Waka?
    --What is it, Waka?
[11:20] ---
    Go have some fun with that lady.
[11:22] ---
    --Who, that airhead?
    --Who, that airhead?
[11:29] ---
    What do you want to play, trampy lady?
[11:31] ---
    And it better be fun,
    or you'll pay, shameless lady.
[11:34] ---
    Huh? Huh? Kusakabe?
[11:37] ---
    Looking after those two is a handful.
[11:40] ---
    Tamaki, I'm going to see how strong you are
[11:42] ---
    by the way you play with Hikage and Hinata.
[11:45] ---
    Oh, okay.
[11:49] ---
    Kon-san, aren't you going to
    watch the rookies from the 8th?
[11:53] ---
    I'll do that once I finish sweeping up in here.
[11:55] ---
    Oh, I'll do that. You go ahead and watch.
[11:58] ---
    It's my duty today. I don't mind.
[12:06] ---
    Waka says you gotta keep away
    from both of us for one minute.
[12:10] ---
    We're gonna play tag.
[12:12] ---
    --Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
    --Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
[12:13] ---
    --All right, already.
    --Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
    --Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
[12:14] ---
    Okay, I'll start running.
[12:17] ---
    Though I don't want to
    run so fast it makes them cry.
[12:21] ---
    I'll just go nice and easy on them.
[12:23] ---
    Uh-oh, run!
[12:25] ---
    --Are you mocking us?!
    --Are you mocking us?!
[12:27] ---
    Th-That hurt!
[12:28] ---
    --Run like you mean it, or we'll kill you!
    --Run like you mean it, or we'll kill you!
[12:30] ---
    Damn it, all right, then.
[12:33] ---
    Girls shouldn't use
    potty language like "damn it"!
[12:35] ---
    And if you talk down to us,
    we'll dump you right in the Sumida River!
[12:39] ---
    You want me to run like I mean it, then?
    Well, don't cry if you can't keep up!
[12:44] ---
    For heaven's sake, what is this?
    I didn't come to Asakusa to play games.
[12:50] ---
    I want to catch up with Shinra and Arthur,
    even just a little bit.
[12:58] ---
    Didn't we tell you not to hold back, you sow?
[13:01] ---
    Do you honestly not want to
    get any stronger, you piece of crap?
[13:04] ---
    We're being nice enough to play with you.
    Don't go getting the wrong idea.
[13:09] ---
    Are these girls that good?
[13:15] ---
    Guess we better get started, too.
[13:17] ---
    Please do, sir!
[13:22] ---
    Wow, haven't seen this in a while.
[13:24] ---
    What are you doing, sir?!
[13:27] ---
    Not since it was Beni's turn.
[13:35] ---
    It's been a long time since
    we've taken in a sight like this.
[13:39] ---
    Another peaceful day in Asakusa.
[13:42] ---
    Ow! That's too hot! Ow! Ow!
[13:47] ---
    --It's peaceful, all right.
    --My clothes are burning!
    My butt is sticking out!
[13:54] ---
    --Eight seconds! Nowhere near a minute!
    --Eight seconds! Nowhere near a minute!
[13:57] ---
    Yeah, I know!
[13:59] ---
    But just watch this!
[14:05] ---
    I mean business now! Go on and catch me
    if you can, you little brats!
[14:10] ---
    Hina, looks like she's finally gotten motivated.
[14:12] ---
    We should get going, too, Hika.
[14:16] ---
    Coming through!
[14:20] ---
    Woo-hoo!
[14:22] ---
    Don't blame me if your kimonos get burned!
[14:24] ---
    Wishful thinking! Five seconds!
[14:28] ---
    Five seconds? That's less than last time.
[14:30] ---
    This is her meaning business?
    Don't make me laugh.
[14:33] ---
    I'm just getting started. Let's go again!
[14:36] ---
    Isn't a minute too long for her?
[14:38] ---
    Might as well make it 30 seconds.
[14:41] ---
    I'll show them.
[14:43] ---
    I'm a Fire Soldier.
[14:46] ---
    How is school going, Tamaki? Are you
    going to get your sister certification?
[14:51] ---
    We're not a clerical family,
    so there are a lot of tests,
[14:54] ---
    but the teacher says I'm doing fine.
[14:56] ---
    Don't get in over your head, now.
[14:59] ---
    It's just that because...
[15:01] ---
    ...Mama and Papa told me...
[15:03] ---
    Tamaki-san, good morning!
[15:05] ---
    Good morning.
[15:07] ---
    Ah, your badge!
[15:09] ---
    Yeah! I'm a sister now!
[15:11] ---
    I still have the written test and the interview
    before I'm certified as a sister.
[15:16] ---
    Yeah, but you're smart,
    so you'll do fine. Hang in there.
[15:20] ---
    --The Great Sol is watching your efforts.
[15:21] ---
    --And just because everyone else was doing it...
    --The Great Sol is watching your efforts.
[15:25] ---
    Nya!
[15:27] ---
    Tamaki-san!
[15:29] ---
    ...but I kept tripping up for no reason.
[15:31] ---
    Are you all right? Easy, now...
[15:34] ---
    Is something wrong?
[15:37] ---
    There's fire coming from your bottom!
[15:40] ---
    Just because I started making flames...
[15:46] ---
    Damn! How long was that?
[15:48] ---
    Twelve seconds.
[15:49] ---
    One of your better times.
[15:50] ---
    Again!
[15:53] ---
    That's amazing, isn't it?
    If you're a third generation,
[15:55] ---
    does that mean you're
    going to be a Fire Soldier?
[15:57] ---
    A Fire Soldier sister? Now that's cool!
[16:00] ---
    If you do enlist, it will be at the 1st, right?
[16:02] ---
    The 1st, huh?
[16:05] ---
    Look there!
[16:06] ---
    Wow!
[16:08] ---
    It's Lieutenant Rekka Hoshimiya!
[16:11] ---
    He's so cool, isn't he?
[16:13] ---
    Young girl students! Don't just watch
    from over there, come here!
[16:17] ---
    The 1st is fervently waiting for
    fresh faces like you to enlist!
[16:22] ---
    Huh? What do we do?
[16:23] ---
    He spotted us!
[16:24] ---
    L-Let's get out of here!
[16:25] ---
    I looked up to Lieutenant Rekka,
    the same way everyone else did.
[16:31] ---
    Just because... everyone else said so.
[16:38] ---
    Papa! Mama! I want to
    become a sister and join the 1st!
[16:45] ---
    I became a Fire Soldier just because.
[16:48] ---
    I will stand by and see your end through!
[16:52] ---
    You're going to die in my place, Tamaki!
[16:57] ---
    Please, Kusakabe...
[16:59] ---
    Defeat Lieutenant Rekka.
[17:02] ---
    Leave him to me. That's why I'm here.
[17:06] ---
    I'll show them!
[17:11] ---
    Too bad!
[17:11] ---
    That was 18 seconds!
[17:14] ---
    I want to change!
[17:15] ---
    Hika...
[17:16] ---
    Hina...
[17:17] ---
    But I've just been carried along
    by everyone else so far.
[17:21] ---
    I know it's not going to be
    that easy for me to change.
[17:24] ---
    And everyone else is trying so hard...
[17:28] ---
    So then, so will I!
[17:31] ---
    I'm going to try harder, too!
[17:38] ---
    Thirty seconds left.
[17:40] ---
    We're gonna go all-out now, too.
[17:42] ---
    I swear I'm going to keep away from you.
[17:46] ---
    --Nya!
    --Ow!
[17:49] ---
    S-Sorry!
[17:50] ---
    No, I should apologize.
    My Lecher Lure strikes again.
[17:59] ---
    You know that boy you pounced on
    earlier, right? He's my boyfriend.
[18:04] ---
    "Lecher Lure" my eye!
    You did it on purpose, didn't you?
[18:07] ---
    You flirty little warthog!
[18:09] ---
    I'm sorry. But I really didn't do it on purpose.
[18:15] ---
    Go over and sit in the corner, you troublemaker!
[18:22] ---
    Still wearing twin tails in middle school, too.
[18:25] ---
    For a warthog, you sure are a flirt!
    Hurry and get over there!
[18:30] ---
    Are twin tails supposed to be flirty?
[18:34] ---
    I like them--they're like floppy animal ears.
[18:41] ---
    Must be nice to be a cat.
    They don't get lechered.
[18:46] ---
    I wish I could be...
[18:50] ---
    ...as quick as...
[18:53] ---
    ...a cat!
[19:12] ---
    Forty seconds! Not good, Hikage!
    If she keeps this up, she'll get away from us!
[19:16] ---
    We're not gonna let her!
[19:19] ---
    They're catching up!
[19:22] ---
    And as nimble as a cat!
[19:26] ---
    Damn, 45 seconds!
[19:38] ---
    What are you sitting in the corner for?
    Come on over here.
[19:42] ---
    If I sit over there, my Lecher Lure
    will bother you, right?
[19:53] ---
    I'll sit in the corner. You go sit over there.
[19:56] ---
    It's okay. I'm used to it.
[19:58] ---
    I'm more used to sitting in the corner.
    Give the "Devil" his due.
[20:03] ---
    "Slap"
[20:08] ---
    --Put me down!
    --How does this happen?!
[20:11] ---
    Look, I'll sit in the corner, okay?!
[20:14] ---
    It's true, that is awkward as hell,
[20:16] ---
    but it doesn't mean you have to
    consign yourself to the corner.
[20:20] ---
    I mean, look at that idiot.
[20:22] ---
    He's as low as they come, but he always
    sits in the birthday boy's seat.
[20:26] ---
    Have a little self-respect, yourself.
[20:35] ---
    I'm done slinking off into the corner!
[20:38] ---
    Why did you come to a stop? Are you giving up?
[20:42] ---
    For these last ten seconds,
    I'm not running away!
[20:49] ---
    I'm steamrolling through!
[20:50] ---
    Now she's coming after us.
[20:52] ---
    She might have actually gotten away, too!
[20:54] ---
    --Unite!
    --Unite!
[20:58] ---
    --Mother Fox!
    --Mother Fox!
[21:02] ---
    I'm gonna tear right through you!
[21:06] ---
    "Nekomata Fireball"
[21:06] ---
    Nekomata Fireball!
[21:15] ---
    --Damn that woman! We're not done yet!
    --Damn that woman! We're not done yet!
[21:18] ---
    That's 60 seconds. I don't know why,
[21:21] ---
    but there was some reason why
    you were suppressing your own power.
[21:25] ---
    Captain Shinmon!
[21:29] ---
    But you've peeled that layer away, haven't you?
[21:34] ---
    Thank you very much!
[21:35] ---
    Nobody asked you to peel that much away.
[21:37] ---
    S-Sorry, sir!
[21:39] ---
    --Floozy!
    --Floozy!
[21:41] ---
    Is a simple game of tag enough to
    really change me that much?
[21:46] ---
    Anyone who can't take
    a simple game this seriously
[21:49] ---
    doesn't stand a chance when
    it comes to playing for keeps.
[21:52] ---
    Now, for the first time,
    you've stood in the ring.
[21:56] ---
    Keep it up.
[22:01] ---
    Thank you very much, sir!
[22:04] ---
    What exactly are you doing
    to yourself over there?
[22:08] ---
    Oh my...
[22:18] ---
    Captain Shinmon! Where did you go?!
[22:21] ---
    You can't tell us you've forgotten about us!

[00:01] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:14] ---
    ...is death by fire.
[00:22] ---
    --It's too hot!
    --It's too hot!
[00:26] ---
    Captain Shinmon! Where did you go?!
[00:28] ---
    You can't tell us you've forgotten about us!
[02:15] ---
    "Episode 24:
    Signs of Upheaval"
[02:29] ---
    We came here to learn how to use
    Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene!
[02:33] ---
    Captain Shinmon! What is the purpose of this?!
[02:39] ---
    Captain Shinmon, what is the purpose of that?
[02:43] ---
    I don't know. It's proto-nationalist hazing.
[02:47] ---
    Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene
[02:49] ---
    is a power beyond the limits
    of the limits of one's strength.
[02:53] ---
    So this is also necessary to overcome
    the limits of the limits of one's strength.
[02:58] ---
    Konro did this to me when I was a kid.
[03:01] ---
    Ah.
[03:17] ---
    It's called Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene.
    It's no exaggeration to say
[03:20] ---
    that when someone can use
    this Hysterical Strength at will,
[03:23] ---
    they become a full-fledged hikeshi.
[03:26] ---
    And the captain of the 8th?
    He's God's gift to Hysterical Strength.
[03:32] ---
    That man is the model of
    what a hikeshi should be.
[03:36] ---
    Captain Obi?
[03:38] ---
    Nobody else who is unpowered
    can do the things he can.
[03:42] ---
    Wh-What is the purpose of this?!
[03:46] ---
    What is...
[03:48] ---
    ...the purpose...
[03:49] ---
    ...of this?!
[03:51] ---
    What is...
[03:53] ---
    ...the purpose...
[03:57] ---
    We're roasted over a fire...
    dragged through town behind a wagon...
[04:04] ---
    ...dipped undressed and upside-down
    in water... then spun around...
[04:09] ---
    What is... the purpose of this...?
[04:13] ---
    Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene
[04:14] ---
    requires you to go beyond
    the limit of your limits.
[04:17] ---
    Right...
[04:19] ---
    I said the same thing when Konro did this to me.
[04:21] ---
    And...?
[04:26] ---
    I'm sure there was some reason for all of this.
[04:30] ---
    I never actually checked, though.
[04:32] ---
    "Huh..."
[04:32] ---
    Huh...?
[04:33] ---
    "Seriously?"
[04:35] ---
    Okay, let's do this.
[04:37] ---
    Was there really no point to all of that, sir?
[04:40] ---
    I don't know. Are you going to
    worry about every little thing?
[04:44] ---
    --Hey, screw you, man!
    --What the hell was all that?!
[04:46] ---
    --Die, damn you!
    --That was complete abuse of power!
[04:48] ---
    Maybe it's the hazing,
    but you have a lot of pent-up anger.
[04:51] ---
    Nice. I can feel the breath of life
    in every one of your attacks.
[04:56] ---
    I can even sense you trying to kill me.
[04:58] ---
    Of course you can, sir!
    It's the bitterness from our anger!
[05:07] ---
    Whoa, are you okay?!
[05:13] ---
    That's going too far!
[05:17] ---
    Anger begets anger. If you turn
    your bloodlust on someone,
[05:22] ---
    that bloodlust is guaranteed
    to come right back to you.
[05:28] ---
    You two have learned
    the breath of life. Your lives,
[05:32] ---
    your friends' lives, your enemies' lives...
    the importance of all life.
[05:41] ---
    But you still take it too lightly.
[05:45] ---
    To face a fire scene
[05:48] ---
    is to cast yourselves into the purifying fires
    of the Wisdom King Acala.
[05:52] ---
    The moment you drop your guard
    will be your last.
[05:55] ---
    Acala's flames will come and
    snuff your breath of life right out.
[06:01] ---
    What you sense past the breath of life is...
[06:06] ---
    "The Press of Death"
[06:11] ---
    Look alive! Or Acala will claim your life.
[06:18] ---
    How?! He's faster than my Rapid!
[06:26] ---
    That was a simple kick and palm strike...
[06:29] ---
    This is the Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene?
[06:32] ---
    --We're not...
    --...done yet!
[07:07] ---
    I'm not done yet...!
[07:13] ---
    D-Damn...
[07:15] ---
    They've been at it for five hours.
[07:18] ---
    They've used up all the oxygen
    in their bodies. They're blacking out.
[07:23] ---
    If they keep this up any longer,
[07:25] ---
    they'll develop tephrosis.
[07:27] ---
    Overheated?
[07:32] ---
    Captain Shinmon, isn't that
    enough training for one day?
[07:35] ---
    Training? I don't remember even starting that.
[07:41] ---
    Get up. The training begins now.
[07:51] ---
    Hey, Konro, are you here?
[07:52] ---
    Wah! The captain of the 5th?!
    Are you here to have Waka train you, too?
[07:58] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
    I'm a researcher, not a barbarian.
[08:03] ---
    I've come to hear all about
    the story you mentioned yesterday,
[08:06] ---
    about when you fought that demon two years ago.
[08:08] ---
    Hmm? Yesterday?
    You mean about the doppelganger?
[08:13] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
    I want to hear more about it.
[08:17] ---
    You want to hear more? I don't know what to say.
[08:20] ---
    There isn't anything more than
    what I said yesterday. Anyhow,
[08:24] ---
    why don't you come in?
[08:26] ---
    I thought as much, so we're here
    to take it up with you physically.
[08:30] ---
    Please go on in.
[08:32] ---
    There's someone else with you?
[08:36] ---
    Special Fire Force Company 6
    Captain Kayoko Huang.
[08:41] ---
    Kayoko-san, this is the one.
[08:43] ---
    I'll start with a palpatory exam.
[08:45] ---
    What are they doing to me?
[08:50] ---
    What's the matter? Get up, already.
[08:52] ---
    The training is just starting?
[08:55] ---
    If you keep this up any longer,
    they're going to get tephrosis!
[08:58] ---
    This training is to push them
    beyond their limits.
[09:02] ---
    Now, stand up!
[09:08] ---
    I was... never going... to quit...
[09:14] ---
    ...in the... first place...
[09:18] ---
    That just sounds like bravado to me.
[09:32] ---
    Just standing there getting hit
    is the same as quitting.
[09:40] ---
    Come on, what's wrong with you?
    Move, or you're dead.
[09:45] ---
    Your enemy isn't going to wait for you.
[09:47] ---
    I know that... sir...
[10:01] ---
    All the oxygen in my body... I can't breathe...
[10:07] ---
    I can feel my own life burning...
[10:12] ---
    My consciousness...
[10:14] ---
    ...is fading...
[10:23] ---
    A fire scene...?
[10:27] ---
    The purifying flame of Acala...
[10:31] ---
    A fire scene... I'm in
    the middle of a fire scene...
[10:37] ---
    Shinra!
[10:41] ---
    Shinra!
[10:52] ---
    Is this...?
[10:55] ---
    But I'm in Asakusa right now...
[11:05] ---
    Sho...
[11:08] ---
    Mom...
[11:11] ---
    If I don't do something, I'll be killed.
[11:14] ---
    I don't ever want to lose them again.
[11:17] ---
    Precious life... Unique...
[11:22] ---
    Once it's gone, there's no getting it back.
[11:29] ---
    Tension and fear are making me stiffen up.
[11:34] ---
    If I don't move, I'll die.
[11:36] ---
    I'll be killed. Once I'm dead, it's all over.
[11:43] ---
    Am I just a coward?
[11:46] ---
    Am I going to let this end
    without doing something?
[11:50] ---
    What do I do? What can I do?
[11:55] ---
    I've used up everything that I have.
    There isn't anything left.
[12:00] ---
    So what can I do?
[12:00] ---
    "So what can I do"
[12:11] ---
    "Survival instinct"
[12:13] ---
    Survival instinct.
[12:16] ---
    The strain of death is making me smile.
[12:21] ---
    "Pinch of Energy"
[12:22] ---
    A Pinch of Energy.
[12:26] ---
    What is the fear of death giving me?
[12:29] ---
    "The Press of Death"
[12:34] ---
    "The Press of Death"
[12:43] ---
    Those flames-- Now you're cooking.
[13:09] ---
    Have you learned anything?
[13:11] ---
    Your flame is not special, nor different
    from the flames of other pyrokinetics.
[13:17] ---
    And if your flame has
    no special characteristics,
[13:19] ---
    then there must be some other trigger
    for you to Adolla Link.
[13:23] ---
    Lieutenant Konro, both you
    and Captain Hague from the 4th
[13:27] ---
    underwent your Adolla Links
    during the Great Fire.
[13:31] ---
    There were major flames,
    and many people's deaths.
[13:35] ---
    Perhaps something about that
    served as the trigger.
[13:39] ---
    Kayoko-san,
[13:40] ---
    you just said his flame was
    no different from a normal one.
[13:44] ---
    Having actually touched an Adolla Burst,
[13:46] ---
    is there anything different about it
    that sets it apart from normal flames?
[14:02] ---
    Is something the matter?
[14:03] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[14:06] ---
    I'm going to go around and
    ask the others who have had Adolla Links.
[14:09] ---
    I know Captain Hague is
    someone else who carries a stigma.
[14:13] ---
    Talking to him might reveal something.
[14:16] ---
    I bear a holy scar,
    and the White-Clad came after me.
[14:20] ---
    Are we sure the captain is safe?
[14:22] ---
    We'd better hurry.
[14:32] ---
    Good! Yes, very good!
[14:36] ---
    You are someone with considerable skill.
[14:39] ---
    Who are you? I assume you are
    a member of the White-Clad.
[14:44] ---
    You who bear a stigma, I have come for you.
[14:51] ---
    A golden arm...
[15:00] ---
    How did you... get behind me...?
[15:03] ---
    There is nothing behind you.
[15:07] ---
    The protectors are not the only
    weapons the Evangelist has.
[15:12] ---
    What exactly... are you?
[15:18] ---
    A Destroyer.
[15:24] ---
    A Fire Soldier's duty is to protect
    human lives and property.
[15:30] ---
    But one's own life is the most important thing.
[15:35] ---
    Without one's life, lives that may
    have been saved can no longer be.
[15:41] ---
    Látom.
[15:42] ---
    Látom.
[15:47] ---
    The death of one of your men sure takes a toll.
[15:51] ---
    Pan, always make rational decisions,
    always act sensibly,
[15:58] ---
    and at a scene, always treat your
    own person with great care.
[16:02] ---
    We are not heroes. We are human,
    just like the victims of these fires.
[16:10] ---
    Do you aspire to be a hero, sir?
[16:12] ---
    Good question.
[16:15] ---
    I think it would be nice if there were
    such beings beyond our understanding.
[16:34] ---
    Help me get him down from there.
[16:36] ---
    Yes, sir.
[16:47] ---
    There's no sign of any struggle in here.
[16:50] ---
    Are we sure that Captain Hague
    didn't take his own life?
[16:53] ---
    Captain Hague has been different
    ever since the Great Fire two years ago.
[16:59] ---
    But he's not someone who would
    willingly throw his life away.
[17:03] ---
    Then that means...
[17:04] ---
    ...that Captain Hague was done in
    without any chance to fight back.
[17:10] ---
    This was a significantly dangerous foe.
[17:16] ---
    He's burning so quietly.
    But also, incredibly hot.
[17:22] ---
    He's starting to get the hang of it.
[17:34] ---
    Captain Hague?
[17:36] ---
    In an Adolla Link?
[17:47] ---
    Not yet! Not yet! Not yet!
[17:50] ---
    Not yet!
[17:51] ---
    Not yet, not yet!
[17:54] ---
    This is what it is to die.
    Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene--
[17:59] ---
    I can't yet... I can't yet die here!
[18:11] ---
    Captain Shimon, is that...?
[18:14] ---
    Yeah. The flame beyond
    the limits of one's limits.
[18:19] ---
    They're doing it.
[18:21] ---
    All right, that's enough,
    both of you. Nicely done.
[18:31] ---
    Get so you can go through
    that sensation at any time.
[18:34] ---
    What... have I done?
[18:39] ---
    Looks like the training is
    right on schedule for the first day.
[18:43] ---
    What is it, Shinra?
[18:45] ---
    That was the "Press of Death."
[18:46] ---
    "The Press of Death"
[18:54] ---
    Captain Hague is dead?
[19:14] ---
    Captain Hague's death was written up
    as a suicide, owing to his masochism.
[19:21] ---
    However, the unusual condition of his body,
    pierced head to toe with stakes,
[19:26] ---
    made for a gruesome sight that was
    utterly inconceivable as a suicide.
[19:34] ---
    Okay then...
[19:38] ---
    Waka, Hague over at the 4th was...
[19:41] ---
    The White-Clad may come around here again.
[19:45] ---
    Konro, don't go off on your own
    and do anything behind my back.
[19:49] ---
    Shinra and the others were saying
[19:52] ---
    that the time had come
    for the empire to be united.
[19:56] ---
    As long as it benefits Asakusa
    and the 8th, it's fine with me.
[20:03] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[20:09] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[20:11] ---
    May thy soul return to the great flame of fire.
[20:16] ---
    Látom.
[20:21] ---
    Captain Hague appears to have
    been killed in the line of duty.
[20:24] ---
    Captain Burns, since you also
    possess a stigma, please be careful.
[20:28] ---
    Perhaps you should consider having a bodyguard.
[20:33] ---
    This is a trial being bestowed upon us by God.
[20:38] ---
    As such, the 1st must set an example
[20:41] ---
    as followers of the Holy Sol Temple.
[20:46] ---
    We must demonstrate to all others by our conduct
[20:49] ---
    that we will never back down
    from this kind of terrorism.
[20:54] ---
    May the flame of Sol be with us...
[20:57] ---
    ...that we become the swords of God...
[20:59] ---
    ...and dispel the darkness.
[21:11] ---
    Okay, let's go and take this country back.
[21:15] ---
    How does the sky feel after all this time?
[21:20] ---
    Mm-hmm...
[21:26] ---
    It is about to begin--
[21:28] ---
    a new era for humanity!
[21:35] ---
    Shinra, Arthur, Tamaki, it sounds like
    your training in Asakusa went well.
[21:41] ---
    Good work, all three of you.
[21:43] ---
    --Thank you very much!
    --Thank you very much!
[21:44] ---
    Also, thanks to all of our operations so far,
[21:47] ---
    we've managed to form partnerships
    with each of the other companies.
[21:52] ---
    After the incident with Nataku Son,
[21:54] ---
    we've even managed to find
    common cause with Haijima Industries.
[21:57] ---
    That's right. When we started,
    the 8th was fighting all on its own.
[22:02] ---
    But before we knew it,
    we managed to gain all these allies.
[22:10] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[22:12] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[22:16] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[22:18] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[22:21] ---
    The end is illuminated
[22:22] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[22:26] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[22:29] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[22:31] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[22:32] ---
    The enemy is a mighty one.
    There is still much we don't know.
[22:35] ---
    But we have friends we can rely on
    and allies who will stand with us.
[22:36] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[22:42] ---
    Now is the time to muster all of our strength
    to take down the White-Clad!
[22:43] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[22:48] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[22:49] ---
    Just you wait, Evangelist!
[22:52] ---
    We're gonna kick your ass,
    and protect the Tokyo Empire!
[22:53] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[22:56] ---
    That's the reason why we...
[22:58] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[23:00] ---
    ...why the Special Fire Force is uniting!
[23:04] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused

    We've simply returned to

[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.

    Realized what?

[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.

    There are still many things

[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.

    I'll have nothing better to do than
    keep training and get ripped.

    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.

[12:44] Joker

    That was because I sensed

    I believe that the inclusion of the

[15:56] Burns
    makes it the true Holy Sol faith.

    It was my duty, my way of life.

[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.

    This wall. They cannot enter directly here.

[15:57] Destroyer B
    They came in directly.

    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?

[18:30] 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?

    But even should you try to bribe
    me, it will be to no avail.

    and won't stick to magnets!
SIGN    Don't care
[05:59] Vulcan
    Doesn't that mean she can't be using magnets?

    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.

    Don't, Lieutenant!
[06:45] Vulcan

[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?

    Yeah. I think I've improved

    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!

[08:25] 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

    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!

[10:41] Lisa
    I'm a former Feeler of the

[10:45] Lisa
    I can't sit around hesitating
    at a time like this!

    I was your enemy,
    but Captain Obi welcomed me in.

[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...

[11:42] Licht
    The enemy has a perfect

SIGN    Alchemical Symbol for Gold

[11:47] Licht
    So it is necessary to first render
    her magnetism ineffective.

    For example, ferromagnetism could be used

    to stop the magnetism produced
    by her gold gauntlet.

[12:12] Vulcan
    But she can control iron! It's impossible!
[12:15] Licht
    Definitely impossible, normally.

    Leave it to me. First,

    Okay!

    It's still nowhere near hot enough!

    Huh?!
[14:22] Tamaki
    What now? What are you doing now?!
[14:24] Vulcan
    Highly concentrated oxygen
    meant for breathing.

    We'll use these to raise the
    temperature to 2,800 degrees!

[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.

    It is no longer magnetic!

    The gauntlet's useless!

    You three could've fought us together,
    but you underestimated us!

    Are the Demon Infernals trying to kill

    That child's ability to concentrate
    on prayer is incredible.

    Your baptismal name shall be Leonard,
    the lion who dispels evil.

[03:38] (Flashback) young Burns
    I am honored.

[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?
[05:08] Burns; internal
    If God is not there,
[05:11] Burns; internal
    then where do our prayers go?
[05:17] Burns; internal
    The diary of the wife of Raffles I...
[05:20] Burns; internal
    and the truth of the Holy Sol
    faith written within it.
[05:24] Burns; internal
    The founder of the Holy Sol faith was
    someone who had become a stranger to her.
SIGN    Holy Sol Temple
[05:33] Burns; internal
    But even if there was no God,
[05:37] Burns; internal
    the people were saved by the
    miracle known as Amaterasu.
[05:40] Burns; internal
    In that case, where was
    the God we believed in?
[05:46] Burns; internal
    What I saw in that moment was madness.
[05:49] Burns; internal
    I was touched by an overwhelming correct
    answer and an overwhelming insanity.
[05:54] Burns; internal
    That was the ultimate end
    of the people's ruin.
[05:58] Burns; internal
    What are my prayers?
[06:00] Burns; internal
    Why have I been praying?
[06:03] Burns; internal
    Was it for the salvation of
    my comrades, of the people?
[06:07] Burns; internal
    Who have I been praying to?
[06:09] Burns; internal
    For what? And to what purpose?
[06:14] Burns; internal
    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
    Corna!
[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...
[09:21] Joker
    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?!
[09:57] Joker; internal
    A dark hero like me won't be
    the one to change things.
[10:03] Joker; internal
    It'll be a real hero.
[10:07] Joker
    Shinra!
[10:25] Shinra; internal
    There's no time to rest!
[10:29] Shinra; internal
    Go faster!
[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!

    Older brother?
[12:07] Shinra; internal
    By the time I was old enough
    to understand things,
[12:10] Shinra; internal
    I'd lost my family,
    lost everything dear to me.
[12:17] Shinra; internal
    That's why, for me, there are no
    low-value or high-value lives.
[12:21] Shinra; internal
    Everyone's lives are important.
[12:24] Shinra; internal
    I want to become a hero who saves everyone.
[12:29] Shinra; internal
    Even now, that hasn't changed.
[12:31] Shinra; internal
    But...
[12:33] Shinra; internal
    there are precious lives that I
    have to protect, no matter what.

SIGN    Death's Weight
[13:35] Burns
    I swore I would pray.
[13:38] Burns
    To simply pray. To become a servant of God.
[13:42] Burns
    I swore to become this empire's lion...
[13:45] Burns
    and expel devils!
[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
    everything in existence!
[14:17] Burns
    You can't even beat one old man,
    you ridiculous upstart!
[14:20] Shinra
    No matter who I'm up against,
    no one can stop my kick!
[14:24] Shinra
    Not you, Captain Burns! Not even God!
[14:41] Burns
    Voltage Nova!
[14:58] Shinra
    I'm getting... torn away!
[15:02] Burns
    The Evangelist is the voice of this world.
[15:05] Burns
    In other words, God!
[15:07] Burns
    This world is headed into ruin!
    I heard it myself!
[15:10] Shinra
    Damn it! I will never...
[15:14] Shinra
    Even if the world tries to burn everything
    to the ground, I will never see it as right!

[15:52] Burns
    Then show me that you can
    blow everything away!
[16:01] Shinra
    Once I accelerate, no one can stop me!
[16:04] Shinra
    No matter what kind of conflagration
    this world tries to start...
[16:12] Shinra

[16:15] Shinra
    will send it all flying!

    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.

    What? I thought we didn't stand a chance.

[08:04] Benimaru
    Can you tell me what's going on?
[08:09] Obi
    The Holy Sol Temple and the

    Because of that, the 8th is being
    cut off within the empire.

    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

    But the responsibility for the

    That way, the union between the empire and

[08:58] Benimaru
    Why did Burns go through with that battle?

    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?

[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.

[19:46] Hibana; internal
    Somewhere, there's something about
    the mystery of human combustion.
[19:49] Hibana; internal

    on agriculture here, as well.
[20:02] Huo Yan

    any ideas about this?
[20:07] Hibana

    that possibly connect?

    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.

[20:34] 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.

    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.

    Could it be that for such a long time, we...
[21:45] Sakura; narration

    Oh, dear. Simply demanding an

[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

[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

[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,

[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!

[15:59] Yu
    Did you say things without thinking just
    to get Arthur-san back on his feet?
[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.

    When you're working with mechanics,
[04:11] Vulcan
    you can't just jump to the

    You have to think about every
    method from every angle.

    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.

[12:24] Vulcan
    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!
[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.

[01:14] 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.

[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?

[08:27] Iris
    No, nothing in particular.

    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!

    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...

    Lushan Mole Whack!
SIGN    Lushan Mole Whack
[11:34] Scop
    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.

[13:51] 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!

[15:02] Haumea
    No matter where the Pillars may be,

    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

    What's going on, Obi?
[18:03] Obi
    I'm sorry for the roundabout methods.
[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.

    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.

    There was a strange old lady...

    I'm glad we made it in time.
    Now, let's get you out of here quickly!

    All right! That means we've

    Defeat that Titan. Highest priority.
[20:15] Kurono
    Understood.

    The enemy is on the water. To lay it
    to rest, we will need flight ability.

    Get 'im! Get 'im, Juggernaut!
[20:32] Scop
    Don't give up! Keep firing!

    All right. Use the opening created by

    Yes, sir!

    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.

    You are in a very good mood, my lady Inca.

    Did you see something after Mass?
[04:39] Inca
    You could say that. The future

    Not yet, it seems.

    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.

[10:44] Tamaki
    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.

[13:19] Yona; narration
    In any era, the founder of a religion
    is simply some human spouting nonsense.
[13:25] Yona; narration
    It doesn't change the fact that
    they are ignorant and incompetent.
[13:29] Yona; narration
    If anything makes this human
    different from the rest,
[13:32] Yona; narration
    it's that he's had a taste of Adolla.
[13:35] Yona; narration
    A very minor difference.
SIGN    Do Not Open
SIGN    Amaterasu
[13:40] Yona; narration
    Amaterasu's Adolla Burst would
    rebuild civilization,
[13:44] Yona; narration
    and give birth to pillars that
    would connect back to Adolla.
[13:46] Yona; narration
    This is where it all began.
[13:50] Yona; narration
    This new religion would be built
    using Amaterasu as fodder,
[13:54] Yona; narration
    so why not call it the Holy Sol religion?

    about the Holy Sol Temple.

    things so many times before.
[14:06] Yona; narration
    After all, humans do love made-up stories.

    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?

    How should I know? It's my first time, too.

    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.

    And you'll take me with you.

    Hey!

    There's no point in resisting.
    It's going to happen, you know.
