[00:01] Obi; narration
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] Obi; narration
    But the cause of death that scares the
    most people in this day and age...
[00:16] Obi; narration
    ...is death by fire.
[00:21] news anchor
    A large, mysterious pillar has appeared
    in the open waters of the Pacific Ocean.
[00:23] Licht
    Then the Great Cataclysm
    will already have begun.
[00:26] news anchor
    This is an emergency news flash!
[00:35] Honda
    Fire!
[00:38] Shinra
    No, don't!
[00:43] Oguro
    Defeat that Titan. Highest priority.
[00:45] Kurono
    Understood.
[00:46] Kurono
    Dunk!
[01:07] Faerie
    Was that...
[01:15] Faerie
    It can't be.
[01:16] Faerie
    But if it is, they aren't very good.
[01:23] Faerie
    They're crap at this.
     What are they shooting at?
[01:26] Sho
    No.
[01:32] Sho
    These shots are flawlessly precise.

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

[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.

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