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

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

    a holder of the Adolla Burst,
    said to be a holy flame.
[07:05] man A
    Kidnapping someone with the holy flame
    and holding them captive is just...
[07:10] man B
    And it was done by someone from
    the official Special Fire Force.
[07:11] newscaster
    The other members of Special
    Fire Force Company 8
[07:12] man B
    The world is a scary place.
[07:15] newscaster
    still have Shinra Kusakabe and
    are thought to be on the run.
[07:17] newscaster
    At present, the Imperial Army considers the
    members of Special Fire Force Company 8
[07:21] newscaster
    to be suspects and are in the
    midst of searching for them.
[07:25] Karin
    Who'd have thought the 8th would
    commit such nefarious deeds?
[07:28] Ogun
    You know they wouldn't.
[07:29] Karin
    Huh?
[07:31] Ogun
    Things are getting weird.

    Deploy the gravel troop
    to the site immediately.
[07:48] member of the 5th A
    Clatter!
[07:51] Conehead
    With the 8th gone, even the area under
    their jurisdiction seems to have gone wild.
[07:56] Hibana
    That gravel in the 8th.
    They're always causing me trouble.
[07:59] Conehead
    The 8th who launched an
    investigation into you are gone,
[08:02] Conehead
    and yet you don't seem happy.
[08:04] Hibana
    Indeed not. I have less
    gravel to kick around now.
[08:09] Conehead
    I am concerned for you, Princess.
[08:12] Conehead
    You have been assisting the 8th
    from the shadows, haven't you?
[08:21] Conehead
    The 8th are now traitors who have
    turned their backs on the empire.
[08:25] Conehead
    It is a completely different
    matter from any previous.
[08:27] Conehead
    I beg you, please cease
    lending them your aid.

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

    in a place like this.
[13:22] Licht
    We have air conditioning in our
    secret base, so it doesn't stink.
SIGN    Secret Base

    It's been forgotten.

[13:36] Arthur
    You have Cerberus here?
[13:38] Licht

[13:39] Arthur
    Oh.
[13:41] Licht
    It's rare, but sometimes there
    are others besides us down here,
[13:44] Licht
    people who have lost
    their place above ground.
[13:50] Licht
    Please come in. This is our castle.
[13:57] Tamaki
    Wow, there's a lot of creepy stuff in here.
[14:01] Iris
    I wonder what this is.
[14:04] Licht
    I understand why you're wary,
    but please trust me.
[14:08] Licht
    Despite appearances, Joker and
    I trust all of you in the 8th.
[14:16] Joker
    So, I suppose we should talk
    about what to do next.
[14:21] Shinra
    Captain Obi! As soon as possible!
[14:23] Arthur
    We have to hurry and save him!
[14:25] Hinawa
    Calm down.
[14:26] Vulcan
    So, how are we getting him out of there?
[14:29] Hinawa
    If Shinra's vision is correct,
    we don't have much time.
[14:33] Hinawa
    However, we must first learn
    Captain Obi's location.
[14:38] Licht
    If you're wondering where Captain
    Obi is, Joker has already...
[14:42] Joker
    I've determined his location.
[14:46] Joker
    The Tokyo Empire's most heinous
    criminals and ideological offenders
[14:51] Joker
    are all thrown in there.

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

[16:29] Burns
    As for spontaneous human combustion,
[16:31] Burns
    it is but one trial bestowed upon humans
    in order for us to reach the sun.
[16:36] Burns
    By overcoming our trials, humanity shall
    become a sun and be transformed into flame.
[16:42] Haumea
    Yes.
[16:43] Haumea
    And that man has the right
    to know the joy of it.

    Akitaru Obi.
[16:57] Hinawa
    We're counting on you!
[16:58] Hinawa
    We will follow you soon.
[17:00] Shinra
    Yes, sir!
[17:02] Joker
    Then we'll follow the plan and head
    to Fuchu ahead of the rest of you.
[17:11] Shinra; internal
    They're gonna put an Insect in the captain.

    We're moving out, too!

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

    Leonard Burns, and those
    Destroyers who killed Hague.
[21:40] Joker
    Pillars have those Guardians
    with them, right?
[21:43] Joker
    I'll protect you.
[21:46] Shinra
    I don't need your concern!
[21:47] Shinra
    I got stronger in Asakusa.
[21:50] Shinra
    I can fight powerful opponents
    like you and Captain Burns!
[21:53] Joker
    Yeah? With that spirit, you think
    you can take down Benimaru, too?
[21:57] Shinra
    Not a chance.
[22:02] Joker
    There.
[22:03] Joker
    Go make an enthusiastically
    explosive entrance, would you?
[22:06] Shinra
    I was already planning on it!
[22:09] Destroyer; Stream
    Hmm, that impact...
[22:12] Destroyer; Stream
    We may be able to enjoy ourselves.
[22:14] Destroyer B
    It seems to be someone quite powerful.
[22:19] Burns
    You've come, have you?
[22:31] Joker
    Let's go play hero.
[22:34] Shinra
    I'm not playing.
[22:36] Shinra
    I'm a real hero!
