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

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

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

[06:19] Fire Chief
    You're saying that this disunited
    empire is at last becoming one.
[06:24] Obi
    This time, the connections
    will be strong ones.
[06:31] Fire Chief
    Very good, Obi! Well done!
[06:34] Fire Chief
    If the empire aligns with the
    Special Fire Force at its center,
[06:38] Fire Chief
    it will be a huge step forward in unraveling
    the mystery of spontaneous human combustion!
[06:42] Obi
    We formed the 8th, and now
    we've finally made it this far.
[06:46] Obi
    This is all thanks to your support, Chief.
[06:49] Fire Chief
    No, Obi, the credit goes to you.
[06:52] Fire Chief
    Thank you for uniting the empire.
[06:55] Obi
    We still have a long way to go.
[07:03] Fire Chief
    It seems noisy out there, doesn't it?
[07:07] army A
    Excuse the interruption.

    We're from the Tokyo Imperial Army.

    I am currently fulfilling my duty

    Akitaru Obi, you will come with us.

    Please, don't resist.

    You're taking him in?!
[07:23] Fire Chief

    It's all right. This must

    Going to Asakusa has really helped

[08:46] Tamaki
    Thank you so much!
[08:48] Maki
    Though it looks like your lecher
    lure is the same as always.
[08:52] Tamaki
    Sorry about that.
[08:54] Iris
    But you were able to defeat that person who
    attacked you in the Nether, weren't you?
[08:58] Maki
    Assault, wasn't it?
[08:59] Maki
    No, that was just...
[09:04] Maki
    He did that on his own.
[09:06] Maki
    It's very reassuring.
[09:08] Maki
    Shinra and Arthur also seem to have
    acquired new techniques in Asakusa.
[09:17] Tamaki
    Yes. Shinra says he imagines death to draw on
    the hysterical strength found at a fire site.
[09:23] Iris
    Does Arthur-san visualize death, too?
[09:25] Tamaki
    No. I asked Arthur about his, and...
[09:30] (Flashback) Arthur
    How did I access my hysterical
    strength, you ask?
[09:34] (Flashback) Arthur
    When I imagined possessing all
    the most powerful equipment
SIGN    Quite unfortunately, the data from slot 1 has disappeared.

[11:00] divine ruler
    Up to this point,
[11:02] divine ruler
    the empire has been unable to move as one
    due to the many powers gathered within it.
[11:15] divine ruler
    Now, however, there is a
    true need for unification.
[11:20] divine ruler
    For the sake of the empire.
[11:24] divine ruler
    And for the sake of our god, Sol.
[11:31] divine ruler
    With them by our sides, we will become one.
[11:41] divine ruler
    As possessors of the Adolla Burst,
    they are true believers of our god, Sol.

    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!

    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!

    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

    We've captured Akitaru Obi.
[21:51] Haumea
    Have you?
[21:53] Burns
    Is the recapture of Shinra Kusakabe and his
    Adolla Burst the will of the Evangelist?
[21:59] Haumea
    Yes.
[22:00] Haumea
    Obi will be the bait that lures
    the Fourth Pillar to us.
[22:04] Haumea
    And he had a role in the development
    of Shinra's Adolla Burst.
[22:11] Haumea
    We must reward him appropriately,
    don't you think?
[22:16] Burns
    He has devoted his life to our god, Sol.
[22:20] Burns
    Let us bestow upon him the joy
    of returning to those flames.

[22:32] Burns
    shall be implanted with an Insect.
