[00:02] 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.
[00:44] Shinra
    Take that!

    "Beyond Prayer's End"
[03:12] (Flashback) priest A
    That child's ability to concentrate
    on prayer is incredible.
[03:26] (Flashback) head priest
    Your baptismal name shall be Leonard,
    the lion who dispels evil.
[03:33] (Flashback) head priest
    Engrave that way of life
    into your very being.
[03:38] (Flashback) young Burns
    I am honored.
[03:41] (Flashback) young Burns
    Látom.
[03:44] (Flashback) young Joker
    Are you still praying, Leonard Burns?
[03:49] (Flashback) young Joker
    Even though you carry a distrust of
    this empire, this world, within you?
[03:54] (Flashback) young Joker
    You're certainly working hard.
    I'm impressed.
[03:58] (Flashback) young Joker
    We both exchanged one eye for a glimpse
    of the dissonance in this world.
[04:02] (Flashback) young Joker
    Why would you pray after that?
[04:04] (Flashback) young Joker
    To whom? For what? And to what purpose?
[04:09] (Flashback) young Joker
    Did your remaining eye get crushed?
[04:12] (Flashback) young Joker
    Wake up already.
[04:19] (Flashback) young Joker
    There you go again, not saying a word.
[04:22] (Flashback) Burns
    There is no need to put
    my actions into words.
[04:26] (Flashback) Burns
    I am a priest who serves God.
[04:29] (Flashback) Burns
    No matter what may happen,
[04:31] (Flashback) Burns
    I will continue to pray.
[04:34] (Flashback) young Joker
    Hey, Burns. You ever heard
    of the word "freedom"?
[04:39] (Flashback) Burns
    You're one of Holy Sol's Shadows.
    You have no freedom, so why speak of it?
[04:44] (Flashback) young Joker
    That's why I want to be free.
[04:48] (Flashback) young Joker
    If nothing else, I want to think freely.
[04:51] (Flashback) Burns
    I have always believed in God.
[04:55] (Flashback) Burns
    The form of my belief has not changed.
[04:58] (Flashback) young Joker
    Even if God isn't there?
[05:00] (Flashback) Burns
    Even then.
[05:01] (Flashback) young Joker
    Isn't it suffocating, living that way?
[05:08] Burns; internal
    If God is not there,
[05:11] Burns; internal
    then where do our prayers go?
[05:17] Burns; internal
    The diary of the wife of Raffles I...
[05:20] Burns; internal
    and the truth of the Holy Sol
    faith written within it.
[05:24] Burns; internal
    The founder of the Holy Sol faith was
    someone who had become a stranger to her.
SIGN    Holy Sol Temple
[05:33] Burns; internal
    But even if there was no God,
[05:37] Burns; internal
    the people were saved by the
    miracle known as Amaterasu.
[05:40] Burns; internal
    In that case, where was
    the God we believed in?
[05:46] Burns; internal
    What I saw in that moment was madness.
[05:49] Burns; internal
    I was touched by an overwhelming correct
    answer and an overwhelming insanity.
[05:54] Burns; internal
    That was the ultimate end
    of the people's ruin.
[05:58] Burns; internal
    What are my prayers?
[06:00] Burns; internal
    Why have I been praying?
[06:03] Burns; internal
    Was it for the salvation of
    my comrades, of the people?
[06:07] Burns; internal
    Who have I been praying to?
[06:09] Burns; internal
    For what? And to what purpose?
[06:14] Burns; internal
    No, my prayers have wanted for nothing.
[06:20] Burns; internal
    Pure, innocent prayer.
    Praying itself was the objective.
[06:24] Burns; internal
    And now I have found it—
    the destination of my prayers.
[06:28] (Flashback) young Joker
    Did you give up?
[06:32] Burns
    My prayers have wanted for
    nothing. In which case...
[06:37] Burns
    I need only serve the end
    which lies beyond prayer.
[06:43] Joker
    You're just a bumbling old guy
    causing problems for everyone.
[06:45] Burns
    One day, you will all understand, too.
[06:47] Shinra
    I'm never giving up!
[06:55] Burns
    I've already told you!
[06:57] Burns
    If that's your intent, then show
    you can surpass me, young man!
[07:45] Burns
    It will not be an old soldier like me
    who destroys order and discipline!
[07:56] Burns
    You're still too far.
[07:59] Shinra
    Corna!
[08:11] Burns
    Even old soldiers have their pride!
[08:14] Shinra
    If you're talking about pride, new soldiers...
[08:16] Shinra
    We new soldiers have it, too!
[08:25] Burns
    If that's all you've got, you won't
    be able to change a single thing!
[08:31] Shinra
    I'm still... just getting started!
[08:36] Joker
    A fight between the kid's
    pride and the old man's...
[08:40] Joker
    This fight is never gonna end until
    the kid surpasses the old man.
[08:57] Shinra
    If you wanna take a spin with me that badly...
[09:21] Joker
    He's a mass of energy. Is he planning to
    compel submission through brute force?
[09:29] Shinra
    I'm still not getting enough speed!
[09:31] Shinra
    Kinetic energy equals
    mass times acceleration.
[09:34] Shinra
    If I go fast enough, I'll never lose
    to anyone in a battle of strength!
[09:40] Shinra
    I've gotta go faster!
[09:42] Burns
    Is this all...
[09:45] Burns
    your strength of will amounts to?!
[09:57] Joker; internal
    A dark hero like me won't be
    the one to change things.
[10:03] Joker; internal
    It'll be a real hero.
[10:07] Joker
    Shinra!
[10:25] Shinra; internal
    There's no time to rest!
[10:29] Shinra; internal
    Go faster!
[10:32] Burns
    Just as you struggle in this fight,
    you are merely struggling against the world!
[10:37] Shinra
    If you don't know what to do,
    then struggling's all that's left!
[10:41] Shinra
    Or should young people just
    agree and obey without a fight?
[10:44] Shinra
    Is that what you want?!
[10:54] Burns
    Do I look like a man who
    would despise such things?
[10:58] Burns
    Don't think you know me!
    I would gladly welcome that!

[11:16] Shinra
    Then I'll keep showing you
    until you're satisfied!
[11:19] Shinra
    I'm going to become a hero!
[11:22] Shinra
    I promised. I will protect
    my mother and Sho.
[11:26] Shinra
    I will protect Sho and the 8th—my family.
[11:31] Shinra
    To do that... I will knock
    down both this world and God!
[11:36] Arrow
    Is something wrong?
[11:38] Arrow
    Captain?
[11:41] Sho
    Something came and caused
    interference with my universe.
[11:44] Arrow
    An Adolla Link?
[11:46] (Flashback) child Shinra
    Sho!
[11:54] Sho
    Who is that? This warm feeling...
[11:57] Sho
    You, who interfered with my universe.
    Who are you?
[12:05] Sho
    Older brother?
[12:07] Shinra; internal
    By the time I was old enough
    to understand things,
[12:10] Shinra; internal
    I'd lost my family,
    lost everything dear to me.
[12:17] Shinra; internal
    That's why, for me, there are no
    low-value or high-value lives.
[12:21] Shinra; internal
    Everyone's lives are important.
[12:24] Shinra; internal
    I want to become a hero who saves everyone.
[12:29] Shinra; internal
    Even now, that hasn't changed.
[12:31] Shinra; internal
    But...
[12:33] Shinra; internal
    there are precious lives that I
    have to protect, no matter what.
[12:38] Shinra; internal
    I'm close to overheating.
[12:47] Shinra; internal
    Death's weight is pressing down on me hard.
[12:53] Joker
    Blue flames.
[12:56] Joker
    Hotter, more powerful flames
    than his usual ones.
SIGN    Death's Weight
[13:06] Shinra; internal
    Captain Burns' heat continues
    to rise even now.
[13:11] Shinra; internal
    I won't have many chances.
[13:18] Burns
    Voltage Nova.
[13:25] Burns
    Stage IV!
[13:28] Shinra
    I'm giving it everything I've got!
SIGN    Death's Weight
[13:35] Burns
    I swore I would pray.
[13:38] Burns
    To simply pray. To become a servant of God.
[13:42] Burns
    I swore to become this empire's lion...
[13:45] Burns
    and expel devils!
[13:54] Burns
    Is that all you've got, Devil?
    What of your feelings about heroes?
[13:59] Burns
    Is this all you amount to, Shinra?!
[14:02] Burns
    God desires destruction.
[14:05] Burns
    I am God's servant.
[14:07] Burns
    I simply follow that path!
[14:11] Burns
    If you would call that raising
    the banner of rebellion,
[14:14] Burns
    then I shall fight against
    everything in existence!
[14:17] Burns
    You can't even beat one old man,
    you ridiculous upstart!
[14:20] Shinra
    No matter who I'm up against,
    no one can stop my kick!
[14:24] Shinra
    Not you, Captain Burns! Not even God!
[14:41] Burns
    Voltage Nova!
[14:58] Shinra
    I'm getting... torn away!
[15:02] Burns
    The Evangelist is the voice of this world.
[15:05] Burns
    In other words, God!
[15:07] Burns
    This world is headed into ruin!
    I heard it myself!
[15:10] Shinra
    Damn it! I will never...
[15:14] Shinra
    Even if the world tries to burn everything
    to the ground, I will never see it as right!
[15:20] Shinra
    Because that would mean Sho and Mom...
[15:26] Sho
    Big Brother?
[15:28] Shinra; internal
    You don't have to worry.
[15:30] Shinra; internal
    Just be good and wait there, got it?
[15:33] Shinra; internal
    I swear I'll save you.
[15:47] Joker
    Shinra...
[15:48] Joker
    He's accelerating from that position?
[15:52] Burns
    Then show me that you can
    blow everything away!
[16:01] Shinra
    Once I accelerate, no one can stop me!
[16:04] Shinra
    No matter what kind of conflagration
    this world tries to start...
[16:12] Shinra
    my feet...
[16:15] Shinra
    will send it all flying!
[16:45] Shinra
    Sweat? Right.
[16:48] Shinra
    I've been sweating, haven't I?
[16:52] Shinra
    Being in that insane heat
    made my sweat vaporize.
[17:11] Shinra
    Captain Burns.
[17:22] Burns
    The fires of the world are big, Shinra.
[17:29] Burns
    But it is the young people who carry hope.
[17:34] Shinra
    Will you acknowledge me a little now?
[17:37] Burns
    You've pushed me this far,
    so a little more than before.
[17:46] Burns
    You've grown stronger.
[17:49] Shinra
    Why didn't you dodge my attacks even once?
[17:53] Burns
    Shinra, young people like you
    are this world's resistance.
[17:59] Burns
    As an old man, all I can do is
    accept what you send my way.
[18:06] Joker
    It really is such a cumbersome way to live.
[18:10] Joker
    You said the Evangelist is
    the voice of this world.
[18:14] Burns
    If this world—
[18:16] Burns
    if God—is trying to turn
    toward destruction,
[18:21] Burns
    then all an old geezer
    like me can do is obey.
[18:25] Burns
    This eye of mine that I left
    in the past can see only ruin.
[18:30] Burns
    Show me you can change it,
[18:32] Burns
    and grow stronger than this world.
[18:41] Charon
    It's coming.
[18:42] Haumea
    Yeah.
[18:44] Haumea
    A new Pillar has been born.
[18:48] Shinra
    An Adolla Link.
[19:08] Shinra
    A Demon Infernal? And one of its eyes is...
[19:12] Shinra
    A doppelganger?
[19:21] Dragon
    People equal dust.
[19:25] Dragon
    Return to the dust whence you came.
[19:28] Licht
    D-Dragon is...
[19:33] Maki
    I'll stop it. Please stand back!
[19:35] Dragon
    What can a mere human do?
[19:37] Hinawa
    Maki!
[19:43] Maki; internal
    What? This...
[19:46] Maki; internal
    will kill me.
[19:47] Maki; internal
    I can't block it.
[20:10] Destroyer B
    Blown away, were they?
[20:14] Maki
    What?
[20:15] Vulcan
    We're alive?
[20:18] Hinawa
    Maki, are you hurt?
[20:19] Vulcan
    That was amazing, Maki-san! You blocked it!
[20:22] Maki
    What? I thought we didn't stand a chance.
[20:27] Dragon
    Was that divine Grace?
[20:32] Iris
    They're safe! That's Maki-san for you!
[20:41] Shinra
    Captain Burns, that's—
[20:43] Burns
    Stay back!
[20:44] Burns
    I told you not to interfere, Haumea.
[20:52] Shinra
    Captain Burns!
[20:53] Joker
    Shinra! Remember why you came here!
[20:56] Shinra
    But—
[20:57] Joker
    We don't know how long Obi will last.
[21:02] Burns
    Run, Shinra.
[21:05] Burns
    52, I leave the rest to you!
[21:08] Burns
    Go, Shinra!
[21:12] Joker
    Don't look back! Let's go.
[21:13] Shinra
    But we can't...
[21:25] Burns; internal
    Pray.
[21:27] Burns; internal
    My prayers asked for nothing...
[21:32] Burns; internal
    but here at the end, I beg of you.
[21:41] Haumea
    That went well.
[21:45] Haumea
    Thank you for your excellent hard work,
    my friends from the 8th!
[21:49] Haumea
    Now, let's see...
[21:51] Haumea
    I'll leave it to you.
[21:53] Destroyer B
    Understood.
[21:54] Haumea
    We have no more need of them.
    Kill everyone but the Pillar.
[21:59] Hinawa
    I'll be the rear guard!
[22:01] Hinawa
    We'll rescue Captain Obi and
    leave as fast as we can!
[22:03] Arrow
    This is the end of the 8th, isn't it?
[22:06] Inca
    How incredibly tenacious!
    They're going to survive?
[22:10] Ritsu
    There's no chance of survival.
    Being tenacious won't be enough.
[22:20] Destroyer B
    Wh-Who are you?
[22:22] Destroyer B
    Faint.
