[00:02] Obi; narration
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:09] Obi; narration
    But the cause of death that scares the
    most people in this day and age...
[00:18] Obi; narration
    ...is death by fire.
[00:31] Hinawa
    Tamaki! Pull back from there!
[00:35] Hinawa
    Take control!
[00:36] Maki
    Yes, sir!
[00:38] Gold
    A powerful second generation pyrokinetic.
[00:40] Gold
    But it's to no avail.
[00:43] Tamaki
    Maki-san!
[00:48] Maki
    Thank you.
[00:51] Gold
    A break in the flow of money is
    a break in the flow of luck.
[00:53] Gold
    Even alone, I am more than enough
    of a match for all of you.
[00:57] Hinawa
    Let's go!
[00:58] Hinawa
    This toll was prepared by Captain Obi—
    the spirit of the 8th!

[02:52] Tamaki
    Alone?
[02:55] Tamaki
    She's really underestimating us.
[02:56] Vulcan
    Wait, Tamaki.
[02:57] Vulcan
    This is what you asked me for.
[02:59] Vulcan
    There wasn't much time,
    so this was all I could make.
[03:03] Maki
    Two?
[03:04] Maki
    Thanks!
[03:06] Maki
    I won't waste 'em!
[03:07] Hinawa
    Here she comes!
[03:09] Gold
    Bullets alone will hardly be enough.
[03:12] Gold
    I wouldn't call it a toll...
[03:14] Gold
    but I shall borrow from you.
[03:18] Gold
    There is something quite nice there.
[03:21] Maki
    My shield!
[03:26] Maki
    Tekkyo!

    Sputter, sputter!
[03:32] Flare
    Flare, flare!
[03:35] Licht; internal
    What is the enemy's power?
[03:37] Licht; internal
    She's manipulating metals. Is it magnetism?
[03:41] Licht; internal
    The only distinctive item she
    has is that gold gauntlet.
[03:44] Licht; internal
    No. If that were the case, then...
[03:46] Licht
    What about the possibility that...
    No, that's not right.
[03:49] Licht
    Then what about this?
[03:50] Lisa
    All that muttering... Is he okay?
[03:53] Iris
    I'm sure a brilliant idea will come to him.
[03:56] Iris
    When it came to Firestorm and
    dissipating that underground heat,
[03:59] Iris
    Licht-san's ideas saved us!
[04:00] Licht
    Is it connected to the shapes somehow?
[04:03] Licht
    No, no. It has nothing to do
    with physical appearance.
[04:17] Iris
    Licht-san is an essential member of the 8th!
[04:19] Licht
    That gauntlet. Magnetism.
[04:23] Licht
    Using flame-based powers...
[04:26] Licht
    Gold itself is not magnetic.
[04:29] Licht
    And all those who have
    powers, without exception,
[04:31] Licht
    have abilities connected to fire or heat.
[04:40] Licht
    Gold and magnetism. Fire and heat.
[04:43] Licht
    That means...
[04:52] Gold
    Again?
[05:00] Licht
    Gold and heat!
[05:01] Licht
    Vulcan-kun!
[05:02] Licht
    Please stop her from using Tekkyo to attack!
[05:05] Vulcan
    Maki-san! Stop your attack!
[05:07] Maki
    What?!
[05:19] Shinra; internal
    You're always like this.
[05:21] Shinra; internal
    You talk, but you never say anything.
[05:25] Shinra; internal
    You're absorbed in your own thoughts,
    thinking you're in the right.
[05:31] Shinra; internal
    I can't stand it!
[05:46] Vulcan
    She stopped Tekkyo?!
[05:48] Vulcan
    Licht, what's going on?
[05:50] Vulcan
    Licht, what's going on?
[05:50] Licht
    It's the gold! She's creating
    magnetic fields with gold and heat!
[05:54] Licht
    Gold isn't affected by magnetism
    and won't stick to magnets!
SIGN    Don't care
[05:59] Vulcan
    Doesn't that mean she can't be using magnets?
[06:03] Licht
    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.
[06:31] Gold
    I procure local weapons
    for my assassinations.
[06:35] Gold
    It doesn't cost any money
    that way. Ka-ching!
[06:44] Vulcan
    Don't, Lieutenant!
[06:45] Vulcan
    If you shoot, you'll only be
    giving her more weapons!
[06:53] Hinawa
    She'll even use a discarded gun barrel?
[07:01] Hinawa
    Another round incoming!
[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?
[07:35] (Flashback) Vulcan
    I thought your training
    in Asakusa was a success.
[07:37] (Flashback) Tamaki
    Yeah. I think I've improved
    my techniques and my speed.
[07:41] (Flashback) Tamaki
    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!
[08:11] (Flashback) Vulcan
    I'll make you something great!
[08:15] Destroyer B
    Oh?
[08:16] Stream
    What impressive firepower.
[08:18] Vulcan
    All right! Go!
[08:19] Tamaki
    Nekomata Giant Fireball!
[08:22] Tamaki
    Take this!
[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
    I can't move.
[09:16] Tamaki
    That was close!
[09:17] Tamaki
    My lucky lecher curse saved me.
[09:20] Maki
    That's a relief! Though her lecher
    curse is the same as always.
[09:24] Hinawa
    All the parts that comprise
    Special Fire Force uniforms
[09:26] Hinawa
    are made of Haijima's
    heat-resistant plastics.
[09:29] Hinawa
    The only metal component is on the belt.
[09:32] Hinawa
    Which means!
[09:37] Vulcan
    You mean we do this?
[09:40] Gold
    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!
[10:08] Lisa
    Problems?
[10:12] Lisa
    You're dressed like that teddy
    bear. What're you doing?
[10:15] Vulcan
    This isn't funny!
    Lisa, hurry up and take your belt off!
[10:20] Lisa
    Have you forgotten what my power is?
[10:25] Lisa
    Fishing Fire!
[10:27] Lisa
    My flames are magnetic.
[10:30] Lisa
    They should disrupt her magnetic
    fields at least a little.
[10:34] Vulcan
    Lisa!
[10:35] Maki
    Will you be all right fighting?
[10:41] Lisa
    I'm a former Feeler of the
    Knights of the Ashen Flame.
[10:45] Lisa
    I can't sit around hesitating
    at a time like this!
[10:49] Lisa
    I was your enemy,
    but Captain Obi welcomed me in.
[10:54] Lisa
    Maybe my feelings don't
    run quite deep enough...
[10:57] Lisa
    but I want to save Captain Obi!
[11:01] Lisa
    All I can do is buy you time, Vul.
[11:04] Vulcan
    Leave it to me!
[11:06] Vulcan
    Licht!
[11:07] Vulcan
    The way you were talking,
    you've come up with a plan, right?
[11:13] Licht
    Of course!
[11:14] Licht
    I am the 8th's science officer, after all!

[11:27] Licht
    The enemy, Gold, is a
    third generation pyrokinetic.
[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...
[11:39] Licht
    A final blow from Lieutenant Hinawa's gun.
[11:42] Licht
    The enemy has a perfect
    target on her forehead,
SIGN    Alchemical Symbol for Gold
[11:44] Licht
    but her magnetic fields will interfere.
[11:47] Licht
    So it is necessary to first render
    her magnetism ineffective.
[11:51] Licht
    For example, ferromagnetism could be used
[11:54] Licht
    to stop the magnetism produced
    by her gold gauntlet.
[11:56] Vulcan
    By "ferromagnetism," you mean materials
[11:58] Vulcan
    that'll disrupt magnetic fields, right?
    Where would we get any?
[12:01] Licht
    They're everywhere.
[12:07] Licht
    Iron!
[12:08] Licht
    We'll cover Gold's golden gauntlet in iron.
[12:12] Vulcan
    But she can control iron! It's impossible!
[12:15] Licht
    Definitely impossible, normally.
[12:18] Licht
    And that's why this is something only
    the Special Fire Force can accomplish.
[12:19] Licht
    And that's why this is something only
    the Special Fire Force can accomplish.
[12:23] Destroyer B
    Gold, how long will you
    continue to amuse yourself?
[12:26] Stream
    Time is money, isn't it?
[12:29] Stream
    Hurry up and destroy them.
[12:30] Gold
    They have no more moves left.
    They are finished.
[12:34] Stream
    Are you bluffing again?
[12:35] Gold
    Silence.
[12:39] Lisa
    Fishing Fire!
[12:47] Gold
    What's this? Did I make
    a mistake in my control?
[12:50] Vulcan
    Good work, Lisa!
[12:52] Lisa
    Given my magnetism's power,
[12:53] Lisa
    once she gets used to it,
    she'll counter it, and that's the end!
[12:56] Lisa
    Vul, we don't have much time! Please hurry!
[12:58] Vulcan
    Will do!
[12:59] Vulcan
    Licht, what is this thing that only
    the Special Fire Force can do?
[13:03] Vulcan
    Licht, what is this thing that only
    the Special Fire Force can do?
[13:04] Licht
    Are you ready? Please listen closely!
[13:12] Vulcan
    I see. You're right! That method will work!
[13:15] Licht
    First, Soldier Tamaki,
    please have your flames at the ready!
[13:18] Tamaki
    I didn't really understand any of that.
[13:21] Tamaki
    What are you trying to make me do?
[13:24] Vulcan
    Licht, we're okay to go here!
[13:26] Tamaki
    Again, what are you making me do?!
[13:28] Vulcan
    Maki-san.
[13:29] Maki
    Leave it to me.
[13:30] Tamaki
    Hey!
[13:36] Vulcan
    Let's start cooking.
[13:37] Maki
    Tamaki, form a pot with your tails.
[13:39] Tamaki
    Huh?
[13:43] Vulcan
    Don't spill anything.
[13:45] Tamaki
    Hey, wait!
[13:47] Vulcan
    First, we melt this iron refuse.
[13:49] Tamaki
    My caboose?
[13:49] Vulcan
    Iron refuse!
[13:50] Tamaki
    Hang on! My flames aren't
    hot enough to melt iron!
[13:54] Licht
    To melt iron,
[13:56] Licht
    we'll need about 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit.
[13:59] Licht
    Vulcan-san, can we do it?
[14:00] Vulcan
    Leave it to me. First,
    we trigger a thermite reaction.
[14:04] Tamaki
    Huh?
[14:04] Vulcan
    You ready, Maki-san?
[14:05] Maki
    Okay!
[14:06] Tamaki
    Hey! What are you using my butt for?!
[14:17] Vulcan
    It's still nowhere near hot enough!
[14:21] Tamaki
    Huh?!
[14:22] Tamaki
    What now? What are you doing now?!
[14:24] Vulcan
    Highly concentrated oxygen
    meant for breathing.
[14:27] Vulcan
    We'll use these to raise the
    temperature to 2,800 degrees!
[14:30] Tamaki
    Y-You'll what?!
[14:37] Gold
    You're using magnetism
    to interfere, are you?
[14:41] Gold
    But I've already grown accustomed to it.
[14:47] Lisa
    Vul! Is it ready yet?
[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.
[15:18] Licht
    It is no longer magnetic!
[15:25] Gold
    My gauntlet!
[15:26] Vulcan
    The gauntlet's useless!
[15:28] Vulcan
    Now you won't be able to use magnetism!
[15:30] Vulcan
    If you think you can stop us,
    go ahead and try!
[15:34] Tamaki
    Lieutenant Hinawa!
[15:40] Gold
    Wait.
[15:43] Stream; Destroyer B
    Huh?
[15:55] Vulcan
    You did it.
[15:59] Stream
    Gold...
[16:01] destroyer B
    ...has been defeated.
[16:04] Stream
    To think she truly was bluffing.
    I will go next.
[16:09] destroyer B
    Do as you like.
[16:10] Stream
    There will be no need for you to step in.
[16:12] Stream
    Nor for him, of course.
[16:17] Tamaki
    Did you see that? That's the 8th's teamwork!
[16:20] Tamaki
    You three could've fought us together,
    but you underestimated us!
[16:24] Stream
    Unfortunately, we only know
    how to fight alone, you see?
[16:30] Stream
    Next, I, Stream,
    shall serve as your opponent.
[16:33] Stream
    Blow, Anna!

    What is it this time?

    The video feed is clear! Beginning
    analysis of the enemy's abilities!

    If it's flames, my resistance will handle it!
[16:55] Maki
    Tamaki-chan?
[16:56] Hinawa
    His attacks use something
    other than flame or heat?
[16:58] Licht
    Given Soldier Tamaki's injuries, the enemy
    is using air currents caused by fire
[17:04] Licht
    and attacking with whirlwinds
    or the vacuums caused by them.

    You are a priest and a fire soldier!

    to protect the people?!
[19:18] Burns
    Even before we are priest and fire soldier,
    both you and I are merely humans.
