[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!

[01:57] ---     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] ---      [22:17] ---      [22:18] ---     "To be continued" [23:51] ---     "Next time" [23:53] ---     "Episode 2:     The Heart of a Fire Soldier"
