The sea's getting rough!
**[00:42] sailor 1**
H-Hey! Look there!
**[00:44] sailor 2**
No way. What is that?
**[00:48] sailor 1**
What's going on?

One huge pillar.
**[01:10] Hibana**
I saw more than one pillar
underground at the convent.
**[01:14] Hibana**
This isn't over.
**[01:17] Hibana**
Seven more pillars will appear.
**[01:21] Licht**
And if all eight show up...
**[01:30] Licht**
the Great Cataclysm will already have begun.

Yes. This is the beginning.
**[03:17] Haumea**
The Evangelist will issue further commands.
Until then, we wait.

Látom.
**[03:26] Ritsu**
Is something wrong, my lady Inca?
**[03:31] Inca**
Things seem to be finished for today.
Shall we head back?
**[03:34] Ritsu**
Yes, my lady.
**[03:38] Charon**
Seems like that guy was here, too.
**[03:40] Charon**
Great Cataclysm Execution Officer Faerie.
**[03:47] Shinra**
Captain Obi, shouldn't we
head to the site, too?
**[03:50] Hinawa**
We're wanted criminals.
**[03:53] Hinawa**
It's better not to make reckless moves.
**[03:54] Shinra**
But...
**[04:05] citizen 1**
What's that?
**[04:15] citizen 1**
Wh-What is it?
**[04:17] citizen 2**
Is that thing an Infernal?
**[04:24] citizen 3**
It's coming this way!
**[04:26] citizen 4**
Run!

If an Infernal like that makes landfall,
there'll be horrible casualties.
**[04:49] Shinra**
Captain Obi, with my legs, I can
get there before it makes landfall!
**[04:54] Shinra**
The only one who can deal with it
or fight it on the water is me!
**[04:58] Shinra**
Please authorize me to go!
**[05:03] Obi**
All right.
**[05:09] Obi**
We're counting on you, Shinra.

**[06:11] Honda**
Move!
**[06:16] fire soldiers**
Work faster! Get it set up!
**[06:18] fire soldiers**
MAT is in place!
**[06:20] fire soldiers**
Beginning adjustments!
**[06:24] Oguro**
They've assembled so many rugged guys here.
**[06:28] Kurono**
If the 2nd was coming,
there was no need for me to show up.
**[06:32] Kurono**
That thing is like a powerful
giant kaiju from a kaiju movie.
**[06:37] Kurono**
It's not an opponent for me to face.
**[06:40] Oguro**
What are you saying? That's your
job as a corporate soldier.
**[06:45] Kurono**
Very well, Section Chief Oguro.
**[06:48] Kurono**
You higher-ups are always coming
up with petty technicalities
**[06:50] Kurono**
to justify working your
subordinates to the bone.
**[06:52] Oguro**
Petty technicalities? Is an order to
defend the empire a petty technicality?
**[06:57] Kurono**
For me, a man who loves to bully the weak,
**[06:59] Kurono**
any logic that forces me to fight someone
powerful is a petty technicality.
**[07:09] Kurono**
I'll do it.
**[07:11] Kurono**
If that thing makes landfill, all the weak
idiots I enjoy so much will be killed.
**[07:17] Oguro**
I'm counting on you.
I am unpowered, after all.
**[07:20] Oguro**
You only listen to orders from
the company president or me,
**[07:24] Oguro**
so I had to come in person
to this dangerous place.
**[07:27] Kurono**
Once I get promoted a little higher,
I'll stop listening to you, too.
**[07:32] Oguro**
That's the spirit, Kurono.
**[07:34] Oguro**
But by the time you're promoted,
I'll be one of the directors.
**[07:39] 2nd's fire soldier 1**
Huh? What are elite members
of Haijima doing here?
**[07:43] 2nd's fire soldier 2**
Are they famous?
**[07:45] 2nd's fire soldier 1**
Section Chief Oguro has no
humanity and no charisma.
**[07:50] 2nd's fire soldier 1**
But he continuously
produces perfect results,
**[07:54] 2nd's fire soldier 1**
so no one around him can say anything.
That's how he's managed to advance.
**[07:57] 2nd's fire soldier 1**
They say following him as a young
hire at Haijima is a surefire route.
**[08:01] 2nd's fire soldier 2**
Huh...
**[08:07] 2nd's fire soldier 3**
What is that thing? It's way
bigger than the reports said!
**[08:10] 2nd's fire soldier 4**
I-Is that thing really an Infernal?
**[08:13] Honda**
Ready for counterattack!
**[08:17] Honda**
Take aim!
**[08:20] Honda**
Fire!
**[09:18] Honda**
Do not falter!
**[09:20] Honda**
Fire!
**[09:52] Shinra**
There!
**[09:53] Shinra**
I can see it now!
**[09:54] Scop**
We have to stop the attack, Shinra!
**[09:57] Scop**
If we don't, Tokyo will suffer
unbelievable casualties!
**[09:59] Honda**
Hold your fire!
**[10:23] fire soldiers**
You can't be serious. Not even a scratch?
**[10:49] Taguchi**
Captain!
**[10:50] Taguchi**
Are you all right?
**[10:53] Taguchi**
All standard-issue equipment has been
rendered inoperable by the damage.
**[10:57] Taguchi**
Eighty percent of our soldiers are wounded.
**[10:59] Taguchi**
And we see very little damage to the enemy.
**[11:05] Takeru**
I'm sorry I'm late, sir!
**[11:07] Honda**
So you did come, Juggernaut.
**[11:10] Honda**
It's understandable.
You're not used to that leg yet.
**[11:15] Honda**
Take your position!
**[11:16] Takeru**
Yes, sir!
**[11:17] Oguro**
So that's Takeru Noto of the 2nd, is it?
**[11:21] Takeru**
I've been deployed as
direct support gunnery!
**[11:24] Honda**
Are you ready?
**[11:25] Takeru**
Ready and willing!
**[11:27] Honda**
You've gotten stronger.
**[11:29] Takeru**
I can't just wait around for
someone else to do something.
**[11:32] Takeru**
If I don't fight,
I'll lose what's dear to me!
**[11:36] Honda**
Take aim!
**[11:38] Takeru**
Sights, locked on!
**[11:40] Honda**
Ready the Anti-Gunfire Pulse Anchor!
**[11:43] Takeru**
Anti-Gunfire Pulse Anchor set!
**[11:47] Takeru**
All firing preparations complete!
**[11:49] Honda**
Fire!
**[11:52] Shinra**
No, don't!
**[11:54] Takeru**
Shinra-kun?!

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