[00:32] ---
    Next stop, Tabata. Tabata.
    Today's Amaterasu operational rate is normal.
[00:38] ---
    We are running according to schedule.
[00:46] ---
    Attention all commuters at this station!
[00:49] ---
    The train traveling between
    Komagome and Tabata...
[00:55] ---
    --A fire has broken out
    on the train running...
[00:56] ---
    --That's a huge fire.
    --A fire has broken out on the train running...
[01:00] ---
    I heard it was an Infernal.
[01:01] ---
    Another fire?
[01:25] ---
    You must be in pain.
[01:30] ---
    I'll put you out of your misery now.
[01:31] ---
    SFF!
[01:35] ---
    All civilians, please get back!
    This area is dangerous!
[01:39] ---
    You, too. Don't stand around here,
    step back, now.
[01:43] ---
    Huh? Aren't you...?
[01:45] ---
    Lieutenant! What are you doing?!
[01:47] ---
    Oh, excuse me.
[01:51] ---
    0810. Let's put this Infernal to rest.
[01:55] ---
    --Roger!
    --Roger!
[01:57] ---
    Sister, please begin the prayer.
[02:00] ---
    Right.
[02:03] ---
    Flame is the breath of the soul.
[02:05] ---
    --Firing special fire extinguishing shell!
    --Black smoke is the liberation of the soul.
[02:13] ---
    Readying core-annihilating pile bunker!
[02:26] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[02:28] ---
    May thy soul...
[02:32] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire.
[02:40] ---
    Látom.
[02:41] ---
    Látom.
[02:44] ---
    Awesome. This is it!
[03:08] ---
    Sister, are you hurt?
[03:10] ---
    N-No.
[03:12] ---
    Sister!
[03:15] ---
    Are you...?
[03:16] ---
    Yes! Forgive the late introduction.
[03:20] ---
    I'm newly-assigned member of
    Special Fire Force Company 8, as of today,
[03:25] ---
    third-generation Fire Soldier,
    Shinra Kusakabe.
[03:28] ---
    "Episode 1:
    Shinra Kusakabe Enlists"
[03:38] ---
    So these are the Devil's Footprints
    I've heard about.
[05:21] ---
    "Special Fire Cathedral 8"
[05:26] ---
    The newly-formed unit
    isn't in a modern facility?
[05:31] ---
    What a dump.
[05:33] ---
    Shinra, come in.
[05:35] ---
    Yes, sir!
[05:52] ---
    You think it's a dump?
[05:53] ---
    N-No!
[05:58] ---
    Reporting in!
[05:59] ---
    Oh, you're here.
[06:01] ---
    I'm captain of Special Fire Force
    Company 8, Akitaru Obi.
[06:07] ---
    "Special Fire Cathedral 8, Captain's Office"
[06:08] ---
    Please stop training when you're
    introducing yourself, at least.
[06:12] ---
    Oh, right.
[06:14] ---
    Takehisa Hinawa, lieutenant
    of the ramshackle 8th.
[06:21] ---
    So, Shinra...
[06:23] ---
    "Shinra"
[06:24] ---
    About this résumé photo--
    why are you smiling in it?
[06:28] ---
    Sir! I'm sorry about that.
    When I get nervous, and my face tightens up,
[06:33] ---
    I seem to have a tendency to smile.
[06:35] ---
    Huh?
[06:36] ---
    Uh, that is... I smile whenever
    I feel tense. My whole face--
[06:58] ---
    Sorry, sorry. You're just so adorable.
[07:02] ---
    So it must create a lot of
    misunderstandings, huh?
[07:05] ---
    Yes, sir! It's not that I'm
    making light of anyone.
[07:11] ---
    "Adorable"? I think the word you're
    looking for is "disgusting."
[07:15] ---
    So tell me, Shinra, what was your
    motivation for joining the Fire Force?
[07:20] ---
    Sir!
[07:22] ---
    I came here to be a hero.
[07:27] ---
    Heroic ideation is fine and all,
    but Fire Soldiers are a team.
[07:32] ---
    We have to make sure to
    put cooperation first.
[07:36] ---
    A hero, huh?
[07:38] ---
    From what I understand,
[07:40] ---
    you were called a devil,
    even at the Training Academy,
[07:42] ---
    over an incident that took place
    when you were a little child.
[07:47] ---
    Are you sure you're not just
    a delinquent with a bad reputation
[07:49] ---
    who became a Fire Soldier
    to score a little credit?
[07:53] ---
    And you expect to be a hero?
[08:00] ---
    "Special Fire Cathedral 8, Shower Room"
[08:01] ---
    Sister...
[08:02] ---
    What is it, Maki-san?
[08:05] ---
    Earlier, you were swept
    off your feet like a princess
[08:08] ---
    by the new recruit at the station, right?
[08:11] ---
    When he did that,
[08:12] ---
    did you feel it was the
    hand of fate or anything?
[08:16] ---
    "Thump-thump"
[08:21] ---
    Maki-san, you're usually so cool.
[08:25] ---
    That's because you have a girly
    flower garden where your brain goes.
[08:34] ---
    Reporting in!
[08:36] ---
    Thanks for your help earlier.
[08:40] ---
    N-Not at all.
[08:44] ---
    Any hero would do the same.
[08:47] ---
    It really is fate!
[08:53] ---
    As a Sister, and our loveable Iris,
    violence does not become you.
[08:58] ---
    Isn't it nice and romantic?
[09:05] ---
    I adjusted the cuffs on your pants
    to go with your ability.
[09:09] ---
    Is the length okay?
[09:11] ---
    Yes. Thank you very--
[09:17] ---
    That kind of smells nice.
[09:19] ---
    Is that the scent of a damp woman?
[09:22] ---
    Excuse me! That's not what I was thinking!
[09:32] ---
    Um, Captain Obi, it's about that time.
[09:37] ---
    All right. Everyone's here,
    so let's get started.
[09:44] ---
    Not even those of us here right now
    know when or who it might happen to--
[09:49] ---
    the terror that grips every
    person who lives on earth.
[09:53] ---
    Spontaneous human combustion.
[09:59] ---
    One day, it just started.
[10:01] ---
    Out of the blue, people the world over
    began to catch fire.
[10:04] ---
    These victims of human combustion
    were labeled the first generation.
[10:08] ---
    This first generation,
    who lost all sense of self,
[10:11] ---
    and ran out of control
    until their lives were spent,
[10:14] ---
    were feared as "Infernals."
[10:17] ---
    Infernals would not cease their activity
[10:20] ---
    until the core where their
    hearts are was destroyed.
[10:22] ---
    Or, in other words, put to rest.
[10:25] ---
    The Special Fire Force's mission
[10:28] ---
    is to put Infernals to rest and save the souls
    of both humans and Infernals.
[10:33] ---
    It is also our calling to solve the mystery
    and find the cause of human combustion,
[10:39] ---
    and more than anything,
    to save humanity from the flame terror
[10:43] ---
    as soon as possible.
[10:48] ---
    I'm going to be a hero--
[10:51] ---
    No, I have to be a hero.
[10:58] ---
    "Special Fire Cathedral 8, Dorm, Unit C"
[11:05] ---
    Mom...
[11:07] ---
    Mom, I'm gonna be a superhero,
    and keep both you and Sho safe.
[11:14] ---
    That's so cool.
[11:20] ---
    Devil!
[11:23] ---
    Of course I'm not going to take in
    such a dangerous child!
[11:26] ---
    Now, Grandmother, you shouldn't
    say that in front of your grandson.
[11:30] ---
    Grandson?
[11:33] ---
    Do you know what the boy has done?
[11:37] ---
    And still... And still...
[11:41] ---
    What a face for you to make!
[11:48] ---
    I'll keep...
[11:51] ---
    my promise.
[11:57] ---
    The alarm!
[11:58] ---
    Shinra!
[11:59] ---
    An Infernal has appeared!
    Be ready in 30 seconds!
[12:02] ---
    Right!
[12:05] ---
    "Captain"
    "Unpowered"
    "Akiharu Obi"
[12:09] ---
    An Infernal has appeared
    in Taito-ku, Torigoe District.
[12:12] ---
    The site of the fire is a small factory.
[12:15] ---
    The person who turned Inferno
    is the factory manager's wife.
[12:19] ---
    "Sister"
    "Unpowered"
    "Iris"
[12:25] ---
    "Lieutenant"
    "Second-generation pyrokinetic"
    "Takehisa Hinawa"
[12:29] ---
    We'll work with Squad 4 of the
    Fire Defense Agency's Ueno Regional HQ
[12:33] ---
    to put her to rest and to stamp things out.
[12:36] ---
    "First Class Fire Soldier"
    "Second-generation pyrokinetic"
    "Maki Oze"
[12:40] ---
    We're moving out!
    Hurry and get in the Matchbox!
[12:44] ---
    "Second Class Fire Soldier"
    "Third-generation pyrokinetic"
    "Shinra Kusakabe"
[12:50] ---
    "Special Armored Fire Engine"
    "Code name: Matchbox"
[12:54] ---
    Emergency vehicles are now passing through.
[12:57] ---
    All other traffic, please pull
    to the side and clear a path.
[13:05] ---
    Special Fire Force Company 8, move out!
[13:17] ---
    This is your chance to be a hero.
[13:39] ---
    The Blue Stripes are here!
[13:43] ---
    This Infernal seems to be
    especially aggressive.
[13:48] ---
    We're working to keep any sparks from flying,
[13:50] ---
    but unless you can put the Infernal
    to rest, there's nothing--
[13:53] ---
    Sister...
[13:56] ---
    P-Please... Please bring my wife rest.
[14:00] ---
    Infernals are lost souls
    surrounded in flames.
[14:04] ---
    In the name of the great
    god Sol, I offer mercy.
[14:10] ---
    Special Fire Force Company 8, we're going in!
[14:13] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[14:18] ---
    There. All done.
[14:20] ---
    All right!
[14:21] ---
    Now I can keep everyone safe!
[14:27] ---
    Mom, look! Do I look like a hero?
[14:30] ---
    Mm-hmm. Very cool.
[14:41] ---
    In there.
[14:43] ---
    It's almost as if this wall of flames
    is refusing to let us in.
[14:47] ---
    This place must have been
    very important to the wife.
[14:58] ---
    Mom... Sho...
[15:08] ---
    Shinra! Are you okay?
[15:10] ---
    Huh?
[15:12] ---
    I'm...
[15:14] ---
    I thought you were going to be a hero.
[15:16] ---
    Fire Soldiers do not leave their
    comrades behind and run away.
[15:20] ---
    When one of us delays, we're all delayed.
[15:23] ---
    The luminous blue stripes
    that ring our bodies
[15:26] ---
    are the ties that bind friends together
    in the world of flame and smoke.
[15:31] ---
    Never break them!
[15:33] ---
    Having a sense of fear allows you
    to make cool-headed decisions. Just...
[15:37] ---
    ...don't chicken out because of it.
[15:45] ---
    Not a problem.
[15:49] ---
    Maki!
[15:50] ---
    Securing a path!
[16:00] ---
    The flames are being sucked in!
[16:03] ---
    Shinra!
[16:06] ---
    --Shinra!
    --Shinra!
[16:14] ---
    Shinra!
[16:17] ---
    Shinra!
[16:18] ---
    Hurry and get out of here! Hurry!
[16:24] ---
    Mom...
[16:28] ---
    The son, Shinra, was supposedly
    the cause of the fire.
[16:32] ---
    There weren't even any bones left
    from his little brother Sho.
[16:37] ---
    Did they say he was a third generation?
    They can shoot out flames, right?
[16:41] ---
    Terrifying, isn't it?
[16:46] ---
    I can't very well run away.
[16:48] ---
    It wasn't me.
[16:52] ---
    There was something there, during the fire.
[16:58] ---
    Something other than Mom, or Sho, or me.
[17:05] ---
    I'm going to find out who the bastard was.
[17:08] ---
    That twisted, nervous smile...
[17:11] ---
    It's so disgusting.
[17:12] ---
    He's a devil.
[17:16] ---
    Ever since that day,
    I haven't been able to smile genuinely.
[17:21] ---
    Devil! Hey, Devil! Get up! Devil!
[17:28] ---
    Blue... light...?
[17:34] ---
    After getting stuck with a
    heavy-duty nickname like Devil,
[17:37] ---
    are you this pathetic?
[17:40] ---
    I was knocked out.
[17:42] ---
    How many minutes?
[17:43] ---
    What? It was about five seconds.
[17:46] ---
    Are you okay? If you can get up,
    then get yourself up!
[17:50] ---
    You okay, Shinra?
[17:51] ---
    Yes!
[17:59] ---
    Everyone prepare for battle!
[18:08] ---
    2110. Now moving to put the Infernal
    "Factory Manager's Wife" to rest!
[18:12] ---
    --Roger!
    --Roger!
[18:15] ---
    Shinra, Maki and I will draw her attention.
[18:19] ---
    Finish this in one shot
    with those feet of yours!
[18:21] ---
    Right.
[18:24] ---
    Commence the operation!
[18:45] ---
    Ow! That's hot!
[18:54] ---
    Improved Type 2 Fire Ax thrust!
[19:12] ---
    I was going to be a hero...
    and keep Mom and Sho safe.
[19:22] ---
    Mom... Sho... I'm sorry.
[19:27] ---
    I couldn't keep my promise.
[19:29] ---
    But I will keep another promise.
[19:45] ---
    Mom...
[19:47] ---
    ...here I go.
[19:53] ---
    I am not a devil! I have to be a hero!
[20:00] ---
    There.
[20:02] ---
    Off you go!
[20:04] ---
    Off I go!
[20:14] ---
    Sister! The prayer!
[20:16] ---
    Right.
[20:18] ---
    Captain!
[20:19] ---
    Shinra! Aim for the core!
[20:31] ---
    You are a devil!
[20:36] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
[20:39] ---
    Disgusting. What a crooked smile.
[20:45] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[20:48] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
[20:55] ---
    Hey, soul!
[21:00] ---
    Burn!
[21:09] ---
    Amazing. This is a
    third generation's firepower?
[21:14] ---
    Return to the great flame of fire.
[21:20] ---
    Látom.
[21:30] ---
    Sister, i-is my wife...?
[21:33] ---
    Your wife is safe. She has returned
    to the great flame of fire.
[21:38] ---
    Shinra put her to rest without her suffering.
[21:49] ---
    Thank you, Shinra. Thank you.
[21:57] ---
    Good work!
[21:59] ---
    Thank you, Fire Soldiers!
[22:02] ---
    From here on, you'll be the recipient
    of these cheers again and again.
[22:07] ---
    Very cool.
[22:11] ---
    You've taken your first step toward
    becoming a hero, haven't you?
[22:15] ---
