    "Prologue: The Great Cataclysm"
[00:11] ---
    A long time ago, mankind was
    touched by the planet's anger,
[00:15] ---
    and the world was engulfed in flames.
[00:18] ---
    It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
[00:20] ---
    The flames burned ferociously,
[00:23] ---
    with an intensity threatening to
    incinerate the places mankind lived in,
[00:27] ---
    the languages they spoke,
    and the culture they had built up.
[00:30] ---
    "Chapter One: Holy Fire"
[00:33] ---
    As the world was being covered in ash,
    one man appeared.
[00:38] ---
    He would later be called Raffles I.
[00:42] ---
    Raffles took his disciples and
    left on a journey in search of light.
[00:47] ---
    At the end of his journey,
    he found an "unsullied flame,"
[00:51] ---
    and brought forth the light that
    would be mankind's salvation.
[00:55] ---
    "Chapter Two: Amaterasu"
[01:00] ---
    Raffles and his disciples used the flame
    bestowed by the great Sol
[01:04] ---
    and the technology cultivated
    by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
[01:10] ---
    The sacred flame of Amaterasu
    benefited the lives of mankind,
[01:15] ---
    and ended up establishing the foundation
    of a state in the Far East.
[02:10] ---
    During the investigation we just carried out,
[02:12] ---
    we discovered a facility called the Tabernacle,
    that is similar to Amaterasu,
[02:15] ---
    and determined that its power source
    was a person bearing an Adolla Burst.
[02:31] ---
    In addition--and this is still speculation--
[02:35] ---
    the source of power for
    the empire's Amaterasu is also a person.
[02:38] ---
    Probably the girl that I Linked with at the 4th,
[02:41] ---
    whom we suspect to be the First Pillar.
[02:45] ---
    But then, what is written in the scriptures
    of the Holy Sol Temple is...
[02:53] ---
    It means that the Holy Sol Temple's scriptures
[02:56] ---
    would be presenting teachings
    that are incorrect.
[03:00] ---
    Every citizen of the empire
    knows what's in the scriptures.
[03:04] ---
    Are you telling me they're false?
[03:06] ---
    Of course they are!
[03:08] ---
    They don't say anywhere that our family
    were the ones who built Amaterasu!
[03:14] ---
    But to think that there's
    a person inside Amaterasu...
[03:18] ---
    What were my ancestors involved in?
[03:23] ---
    False teachings...
    Does that mean that it's possible
[03:26] ---
    the Evangelist and
    the Holy Sol Temple are connected?
[03:35] ---
    Shinra, Arthur, Tamaki,
    excellent work on this mission.
[03:41] ---
    I'm going to report the results of your
    investigation to the top brass at once.
[03:46] ---
    Lieutenant?
[03:48] ---
    This concludes today's meeting.
    All personnel, return to your normal duties.
[03:58] ---
    Iris, are you okay?
[04:01] ---
    Just thinking that this country is
    built on one person's sacrifice...
[04:05] ---
    It's hard for us to believe,
    as Holy Sol adherents, isn't it?
[04:11] ---
    Captain, is the Holy Sol Temple evil?
[04:14] ---
    I can't say for sure.
[04:16] ---
    But the fact that the Holy Sol Temple
    supports the people is true.
[04:21] ---
    I am grateful for Sol's grace.
[04:26] ---
    Thank you very much.
[04:29] ---
    I have to find the truth, for the sake of
    the sister and other devout believers.
[05:21] ---
    No doubt about it. Arthur-kun was right.
[05:25] ---
    The sequence of numbers
    inside the Tabernacle is pi!
[05:30] ---
    But what does pi have to do with Amaterasu?
[05:49] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple's scriptures
    are flat-out false.
[05:54] ---
    And the development of the country
    has been nothing more than a put-up job.
[05:59] ---
    But if the people of the empire
    learn of our suspicions about Amaterasu...
[06:05] ---
    If the results of this investigation
    ever come to light,
[06:07] ---
    it would rock the whole Tokyo Empire.
[06:10] ---
    I know. We have to be very careful
    about how we treat this information.
[06:16] ---
    Unfortunately, I doubt
    this country would change.
[06:20] ---
    The story would just get hushed up,
    and that would be the end of it.
[06:30] ---
    I guess this is all the Fire Force can do.
[06:39] ---
    It might be time to play it a little rougher.
[06:58] ---
    That's a dangerous idea, isn't it?
    Paying a visit to the Holy Sol Temple?
[07:06] ---
    Sounds intriguing, right?
[07:09] ---
    You're not exactly on the
    straight and narrow. Who are you?
[07:18] ---
    A dark hero.
[07:33] ---
    Everything I've had, I've lost,
[07:36] ---
    but I won't let go of this remaining spark
[07:40] ---
    No, I won't let it go, not ever
[07:44] ---
    Though there may be no right answers
    in my ill-defined tale,
[07:49] ---
    once I'm able to step forward...
[07:53] ---
    They say something's wrong with me,
    but I'll do something with them
[07:59] ---
    I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be
[08:04] ---
    But if my dreams have
    resolved themselves to be by your side
[08:10] ---
    then there's nothing left
    for me to doubt anymore
[08:15] ---
    Sparks fly as things kick off
[08:18] ---
    until "black and white" turns to ashen gray
[08:20] ---
    If there's a choice crown to be had
[08:23] ---
    I want it, I want it
[08:25] ---
    I'll whizz my way toward you
[08:28] ---
    until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out
[08:31] ---
    If the clowns are melancholy
[08:34] ---
    then nothing will get anywhere
[08:37] ---
    I'll show you a love that
    burns hot enough to scorch ashes
[08:42] ---
    I just spark again
[08:50] ---
    "Episode 11:
    Dark Hero"
[08:59] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple is hiding something.
    Don't you find that shady?
[09:05] ---
    You're just as shady, yourself.
[09:33] ---
    All the same, this does sound interesting.
[09:39] ---
    So, why me?
[09:41] ---
    As proto-nationalists,
[09:44] ---
    you all have been unfairly oppressed
    by the Holy Sol Temple.
[09:49] ---
    I doubt you've forgotten that fact, right?
[09:58] ---
    Or now that you're an imperial Fire Soldier,
[10:02] ---
    have you lowered yourself
    to being one of their dogs?
[10:17] ---
    Please do not give money to solicitors.
[10:20] ---
    This is Armed Forces Security Enforcement.
[10:24] ---
    What is right and what is wrong?
[10:29] ---
    I just want to know the right answers.
[10:35] ---
    The vague scraps presented by God aren't enough.
[10:40] ---
    Only the right answers are
    the singular truths that transcend God.
[10:45] ---
    I want to know the cause of human combustion,
[10:47] ---
    and what exactly is happening in the world.
[10:56] ---
    "Several years earlier"
    "Haijima Industries, Headquarters"
[11:01] ---
    "Infernal"
[11:03] ---
    "Infernal"
    "human combustion"
[11:05] ---
    "Infernal"
    "human combustion"
    "Adolla Burst"
[11:07] ---
    "Infernal"
    "human combustion"
    "Adolla Burst" "Great Cataclysm"
[11:12] ---
    Licht-kun, I read your paper on
    human combustion. It was really good.
[11:17] ---
    How did you come up with
    the idea behind your theory?
[11:29] ---
    H-Hey, Licht-kun!
[11:34] ---
    I'm just...
[11:38] ---
    ...trying to find the right answer.
[11:42] ---
    The right answer is the one thing
    in this world that I can trust.
[11:52] ---
    Is that your just cause, Viktor Licht?
[11:57] ---
    You again?
[11:59] ---
    I seek the truth; I have no need for
    anything as ill-defined as just causes.
[12:07] ---
    Heroes need them.
[12:43] ---
    We can't go public? Why not, sir?!
[12:45] ---
    No, I wouldn't think so.
[12:47] ---
    The facts that you uncovered
    are likely to disturb the empire's citizens.
[12:53] ---
    Apparently, things must be done
    in order for everything to be disclosed.
[12:56] ---
    Disturbed? You're kidding.
[12:59] ---
    Much as I hate it,
    this was the top brass's decision.
[13:03] ---
    We'll have to wait for three years
    while this goes through the church,
[13:06] ---
    to allow them to reveal the truth
    in a way that won't cause any chaos.
[13:09] ---
    Th-Three whole years?
[13:12] ---
    So we have to keep on deceiving
    the empire's people during that time?
[13:16] ---
    If that's the case, I don't understand
    why we even went to investigate!
[13:20] ---
    --Not to mention what the White-Clad
    will do in the meantime...
    --It's not unusual for the truth to be hidden to preserve the status quo.
[13:26] ---
    The "imperial dogs" aren't up to this.
[13:29] ---
    This calls for a stray dog
    that isn't chained up to anything!
[13:42] ---
    Waka! Waka!
[13:44] ---
    Hey, have you seen Waka around?
[13:46] ---
    Huh? You, too, Lieutenant Konro?
    We were just looking for him, as well.
[13:50] ---
    For crying out loud, where could he be
    out whooping it up at this hour?
[13:55] ---
    Well, he's bound to get hungry
    and come back home before breakfast.
[13:59] ---
    Whenever you do see Waka, come let me know.
[14:02] ---
    Yes, sir.
[14:11] ---
    Oh, Beni, here I thought you were
    starting to get your act together lately.
[14:17] ---
    Don't go stirring up any trouble.
[14:26] ---
    Is that it?
[14:28] ---
    As you can see, the approach is
    exposed and the security is tight.
[14:33] ---
    We won't be able to just sneak on in.
[14:37] ---
    As such, how about we bust our way
    right through the main entrance?
[14:42] ---
    Nice and straightforward.
[14:45] ---
    You know, I still can't believe
    you decided to tag along
[14:48] ---
    with someone as fishy as I am.
    There's something quite different about you.
[14:53] ---
    Yeah. That's because you are so fishy.
[14:57] ---
    If you try anything funny, I'll have
    my eye on you, and can just stomp you.
[15:03] ---
    Don't push me, now! We're so high up!
[15:06] ---
    I'm not pushing you yet.
[15:10] ---
    You're on the empire's wanted list, aren't you?
[15:14] ---
    Why are you taking a risk
    like storming the Imperial Seat?
[15:21] ---
    For my just cause.
[15:28] ---
    I want to know the truth! About what's
    happening in this country, and this world!
[15:35] ---
    To find out that truth, I'm willing to
    let my humanity, my ethics,
[15:39] ---
    my morality, and my virtue be damned!
[15:43] ---
    I was born and brought up in this land.
[15:46] ---
    I have a right to know the truth about it!
[15:51] ---
    Truth is the one thing that
    spells equal justice for all!
[15:57] ---
    What's in there?
[15:59] ---
    The "true" scriptures that
    the Holy Sol Temple has been hiding.
[16:05] ---
    Never heard of them.
    How do you know about them?
[16:10] ---
    I happen to know just a little bit
    about the church.
[16:16] ---
    All right, let's climb down
    and go pay our respects.
[16:21] ---
    We're climbing down?!
    Why did we even come up here?!
[16:24] ---
    People expect you to look down on things
    from above when you're a hero.
[16:30] ---
    "Holy Sol Temple, Imperial Seat"
[16:38] ---
    Our Lord, who shineth in Heaven,
[16:43] ---
    please bestow thy blessed light upon us.
[16:48] ---
    Látom.
[16:56] ---
    Allow me.
[16:57] ---
    That's okay.
[16:59] ---
    Do you know why I devote myself
    to Sol as much as I do?
[17:05] ---
    Of course, Excellency.
[17:22] ---
    In times of old, there were many religions
    that thrived around the world,
[17:27] ---
    and by standing together in their belief in God,
[17:31] ---
    they established a way of living
    that maintained discipline.
[17:35] ---
    Now, in recent times, a newly-created science
[17:39] ---
    has allowed mankind to develop
    more abundantly, and more efficiently.
[17:46] ---
    Before the Great Cataclysm,
[17:48] ---
    there were many forms of religion
    and government across a vast world.
[17:54] ---
    However, all of them have perished.
[17:59] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple is a bundling of
    all the histories of mankind.
[18:05] ---
    All of the world's diverse religions,
    governments, and science
[18:09] ---
    became as one, centered around
    Sol and Amaterasu.
[18:17] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple is indeed
    mankind's final light, the "truth."
[18:27] ---
    No one in this world can be allowed
    to betray the Holy Sol Temple.
[18:33] ---
    Yes, heretics who follow not after
    the Holy Sol Temple, which leads to rebirth,
[18:38] ---
    but idolize this Destroyer God, Shinmon.
[18:43] ---
    Do the residents of Asakusa still reject
    the beneficence of Amaterasu?
[18:50] ---
    We have been advised by the cardinals
    to avoid doing anything
[18:53] ---
    that might provoke Benimaru Shinmon.
[19:07] ---
    Benimaru Shinmon...
[19:10] ---
    What was that sound?!
[19:11] ---
    It was close!
[19:12] ---
    It's the main entrance!
[19:14] ---
    B-B-Benimaru Shinmon is attacking!
[19:23] ---
    No, Your Excellency,
    we have done nothing to him yet!
[19:32] ---
    Stop that man!
[20:01] ---
    Why is Benimaru Shinmon here?!
[20:05] ---
    I'm not Benimaru Shinmon.
[20:10] ---
    I'm Shinmon Benimaru.
[20:13] ---
    You really let them have it.
    F--- the Holy Sol Temple! That felt good.
[20:19] ---
    You're the one who told me to do it.
[20:22] ---
    Kicking disciple ass in the house of God--
[20:25] ---
    what's become of your sense of justice?
[20:28] ---
    This isn't about anything
    as significant as "justice."
[20:31] ---
    All I want is for those around me
    to be able to live happy lives.
[20:36] ---
    I don't know if it's because
    I'm a proto-nationalist,
[20:39] ---
    but I just don't like the Holy Sol Temple.
[20:43] ---
    The energy that is produced by Amaterasu
[20:46] ---
    somehow has the stink of blood on it.
[20:48] ---
    Your senses are sharp, aren't they?
[20:51] ---
    I like how being with you
    doesn't make me feel tense.
[20:56] ---
    These guys may not look it,
    but they're the elite guard.
[21:00] ---
    The Holy Sol Temple
[21:01] ---
    boasts that they have God's Holy Fire
    and the power of science,
[21:04] ---
    and proclaims that mankind is wonderful,
[21:08] ---
    but people are nothing but animals
    before we ever get to mankind and God.
[21:14] ---
    They say we are a nation blessed by God,
[21:17] ---
    but if just one animal goes wild,
    it all falls apart.
[21:22] ---
    I just want to make them understand that.
[21:28] ---
    This is no place for a barbarian
    like you to trespass.
[21:34] ---
    Die.
[21:41] ---
    Hey, what's the matter?
[21:56] ---
    Hey... Mr. Almighty?
[22:05] ---
    I have no prayers to offer for you!
[22:16] ---
    Hey...
[22:23] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:24] ---
    Lame.
[22:37] ---
    Most incidences have their own name
[22:41] ---
    But no one knows and I'm upside down
[22:45] ---
    Billions of people exist
[22:49] ---
    But not anybody tells me what that is
[22:52] ---
    Sacrificing my limited life
[22:56] ---
    Am I moving forward or not
[23:00] ---
    I just want to believe
[23:04] ---
    Nothing goes to waste
[23:07] ---
    I question myself
[23:10] ---
    Why I can't be who I want to be
[23:12] ---
    tangled and translucent
[23:16] ---
    It drains me
[23:17] ---
    Pretending and overextending myself
[23:23] ---
    Wish one day I could love pathetic myself
[23:27] ---
    Hoping for a dazzling future to come
[23:31] ---
    Don't over decorate smile clumsily
[23:35] ---
    Just live life the way I am
[23:38] ---
    This world is cruel
[23:42] ---
    Can't choose how to be born
[23:46] ---
    Stick up the middle finger then
[23:50] ---
    Let's shoot off to the other side
[23:56] ---
    "Fire Force, Season 2"
[23:59] ---
    "Next time"
[24:02] ---
    Captain Shinmon collapses
    before the Holy Sol Temple combatant.
[24:06] ---
    Joker is stunned by this.
[24:07] ---
    What they seek is an even deeper mystery
    within the Holy Sol Temple.
[24:11] ---
    I'm not sure how I feel about this.
[24:13] ---
    I, too, love the darkness.
[24:17] ---
    "Episode 12:
    Shadows Cast by Divine Light"
[24:17] ---
    Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,

    Return to the great flame of fire. Látom.
