[00:04] ---
    There's a fire in the Arakawa
    Shopping District's bazaar.
[00:07] ---
    The source of the fire is a single Infernal.
[00:09] ---
    There's one casualty as well--
    an employee at a fruit market.
[00:13] ---
    Understood.
[00:15] ---
    One casualty already?
[00:17] ---
    Sister, please get ready.
[00:20] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:22] ---
    Spider Net on!
[00:25] ---
    The road has been closed off.
[00:27] ---
    We're okay over here, too!
[00:34] ---
    Here it comes!
[00:39] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
[00:42] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[00:45] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[00:47] ---
    May thy soul return to the great flame of fire.
[00:52] ---
    Launching Special Extinguishing Grenade!
[01:00] ---
    Látom!
[01:07] ---
    We have finished putting her to rest.
[01:09] ---
    Sister! Is the Infernal-- Is my wife...?
[01:12] ---
    You are a member of the family?
[01:15] ---
    My wife received
    the Holy Sol Temple's salvation...
[01:19] ---
    ...and has obtained
    the mercy of Sol, hasn't she?!
[01:26] ---
    Yes. Your wife has passed on peacefully
    into the presence of the Lord.
[01:37] ---
    It means that the Holy Sol Temple's scriptures
[01:39] ---
    would be presenting
    teachings that are incorrect.
[01:42] ---
    It's possible the Evangelist and
    the Holy Sol Temple are connected?
[01:49] ---
    I mustn't dwell on such worldly thoughts.
[03:25] ---
    "Episode 18:
    The Holy Woman's Anguish"
[03:30] ---
    Let's see...
[03:31] ---
    Those flechettes, too?
[03:33] ---
    Yes, sir. That's all of it.
[03:36] ---
    We've had a lot of callouts recently,
[03:38] ---
    so our unbaptized equipment
    is starting to pile up.
[03:42] ---
    But the sister can't
    carry all of this by herself.
[03:45] ---
    Huh? You want me to accompany
    the sister to the Central Church
[03:48] ---
    to baptize our equipment?
[03:49] ---
    Yeah, otherwise known as the Baptism Church.
    You've never been, have you?
[03:54] ---
    No, sir.
[03:55] ---
    The equipment we need baptized is in there.
[03:58] ---
    All right, sir.
[04:00] ---
    Excuse me. I'm ready to go at any time.
[04:02] ---
    I'm looking forward to going with you today.
[04:04] ---
    Right! Let's go get 'er done! Yay!
[04:06] ---
    "Yay!!"
[04:07] ---
    How adorable is that?
[04:11] ---
    Church date with the sister...
    Church date with the sister...
[04:15] ---
    That's not too heavy, is it?
[04:17] ---
    Piece of cake!
[04:18] ---
    It must be a real chore
    doing this alone all the time.
[04:21] ---
    Normally, there isn't this much to carry.
[04:27] ---
    "Power cobra"
[04:27] ---
    I need to work out so I don't
    get outdone by the rest of you.
[04:30] ---
    Th-The sister's milky-skinned,
    supple upper arm...!
[04:34] ---
    No! It's wrong to look at the sister like that!
[04:37] ---
    "Impermissible power cobra"
[04:38] ---
    That is an off-limits upper arm!
[04:42] ---
    "Tokyo Empire, Chuo-ku, Central Church"
    "known as the 'Baptism Church'"
[04:45] ---
    This is the Baptism Church?
[04:51] ---
    This water--is this where
    the equipment is baptized?
[04:55] ---
    It will take some time before I'm finished,
    so please, feel free to look around.
[05:00] ---
    Right. Okay, I'll see you later.
[05:07] ---
    It doesn't look like there's going to be time
    for a nice stroll with the sister.
[05:11] ---
    Of course not. This is work.
[05:17] ---
    Even a church as pretty as this one
[05:18] ---
    has the specter of the Evangelist
    overshadowing its origins.
[05:22] ---
    The sister is conducting herself
    as cheerfully as ever,
[05:26] ---
    but her smile seems a bit awkward.
[05:30] ---
    If she's concerned about something,
    I'd be happy to be of help to her.
[05:35] ---
    Hallowed Lord, who shineth in the heavens,
[05:39] ---
    may the blessings of baptism be
    upon those that reach thy presence.
[05:43] ---
    The Evangelist is the one
    who founded the Holy Sol Temple.
[05:46] ---
    Who exactly am I offering up my faith to?
[05:50] ---
    Sister Iris, your worldly thoughts
    are quite evident.
[05:53] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[05:58] ---
    I have to say, it's pretty here.
[06:00] ---
    Oh, if it isn't Kusakabe-kun, from the 8th.
[06:02] ---
    Long time no see, Lieutenant Huo Yan!
[06:05] ---
    You don't see that very often here.
[06:10] ---
    I'm here having some
    pacification equipment baptized.
[06:13] ---
    It's admirable that you are so earnest
    about coming for the baptisms.
[06:16] ---
    What do you mean by that, sir?
[06:17] ---
    You must have heard things about
    the Holy Sol Temple and the Evangelist.
[06:22] ---
    Whatever is being said, some units
    have been neglecting baptisms lately.
[06:26] ---
    Huh?
[06:28] ---
    Even Karim seems to be growing
    disenchanted with the Holy Sol Temple.
[06:33] ---
    Could that be bothering the sister, too?
[06:36] ---
    Lieutenant Huo Yan, what do you think?
[06:42] ---
    When I heard the Holy Sol Temple
    may have been created by the Evangelist,
[06:46] ---
    it came as a shock. However,
[06:48] ---
    the Holy Sol Temple reveres the Sun
    and its fire, not the Evangelist.
[06:53] ---
    As long as we have the Sun
    that I've venerated for so long,
[06:56] ---
    my faith will not be shaken.
[06:59] ---
    On the other hand, I have become
    aware of something frightening.
[07:03] ---
    If the Evangelist is nothing more than a sham,
[07:05] ---
    she has been having others worship her as a god,
[07:08] ---
    while enriching herself this whole time.
[07:10] ---
    That's true.
[07:12] ---
    But the truth of the matter is,
    the Evangelist lurks in the shadows.
[07:18] ---
    As such, it lends veracity to
    the idea that the Evangelist's people
[07:22] ---
    are plotting to destroy the world.
[07:24] ---
    You're saying that our faith is dangerous?
[07:31] ---
    People need faith.
[07:34] ---
    We need something to believe in.
[07:40] ---
    Lieutenant Huo Yan, was it because of your faith
[07:43] ---
    that you were able to protect
    Lieutenant Karim without hesitation?
[07:48] ---
    I suppose so. Just as I have faith
    in the Holy Sol Temple,
[07:52] ---
    I also believe in Karim.
[07:56] ---
    It's a hard thing to lose
    something you believe in.
[08:02] ---
    If you have the power to believe,
    you can save your friends.
[08:06] ---
    The power to believe...
[08:09] ---
    --You're going to, Benimaru.
[08:11] ---
    --No matter what anyone else says,
    Asakusa is your town, Waka.
    --You're going to, Benimaru.
[08:12] ---
    --No matter what anyone else says,
    Asakusa is your town, Waka.
[08:14] ---
    They don't want to hear just anyone's words;
[08:16] ---
    --they want to hear the words of Beni.
[08:17] ---
    --You men know what I mean, right?
    --they want to hear the words of Beni.
[08:19] ---
    If it means supporting Waka,
[08:21] ---
    I'll offer my two-bit life
    as many times as I need to.
[08:25] ---
    It's because the 7th has such unfaltering hearts
[08:27] ---
    that they've become as strong as they are.
[08:30] ---
    But if we lose the things we believe in...
[08:34] ---
    I apologize for keeping you waiting.
[08:36] ---
    I wasn't praying wholeheartedly
    and got yelled at.
[08:40] ---
    Not at all. You're fine.
[08:43] ---
    Someone as faithful as the sister...
[08:47] ---
    Well, should we head back?
[08:48] ---
    O-Oh, um...
[08:51] ---
    There's someplace I'd like to
    stop by on the way, if we could.
[08:56] ---
    What is this?
[08:57] ---
    The National Holy Sol Cemetery.
    It's where all the clergy get buried.
[09:02] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[09:03] ---
    Whenever I come for baptisms,
    I always stop by here.
[09:07] ---
    I visit the graves of the sisters
    from the convent where I grew up.
[09:12] ---
    Amazing!
[09:14] ---
    Look at all the sunflowers!
[09:16] ---
    Sunflowers face the sun to bloom.
[09:20] ---
    That's why they plant them near graves--
[09:24] ---
    so the dead know the way to the Sun.
[09:27] ---
    This way. Will you pray with me?
[09:31] ---
    Of course!
[09:35] ---
    "Rest in Peace"
[09:39] ---
    That's quite a dazzling display.
[09:41] ---
    That's Hibana nee-san's doing.
    How are they supposed to rest like this?
[09:46] ---
    Captain Hibana did?
[09:48] ---
    These flowers are tidy. It looks like
    she just came by recently.
[09:52] ---
    You might not guess it, but she did
    love everyone from the convent.
[09:57] ---
    She comes to visit regularly.
[10:00] ---
    She does overdo it a bit, though.
[10:01] ---
    "Rest in Peace"
[10:04] ---
    How is everyone? Sister Clematis,
    you shouldn't eat too much.
[10:10] ---
    Sister Sakura, be sure not to stay up too late.
[10:14] ---
    Next time, I'll come by before Nee-san
    jazzes everything up, okay?
[10:20] ---
    Say, Sister...
[10:22] ---
    Yes?
[10:23] ---
    Maybe it's just my imagination...
[10:27] ---
    ...but if there's anything troubling you,
    perhaps I can help?
[10:32] ---
    Is it the matter with the Evangelist?
[10:35] ---
    Is it that obvious?
    I guess I'm not very practiced.
[10:39] ---
    You're always pushing
    Vulcan's buttons and stuff--
[10:42] ---
    going straight after whatever you desire.
[10:44] ---
    You're not difficult to read, is all.
[10:47] ---
    Oh, but I mean, your forthrightness is
    a good thing. It lightens everyone's mood.
[10:56] ---
    Shinra-san, what do you think about
    the Holy Sol Temple?
[11:01] ---
    What do you think about
    those of us who believe in it?
[11:05] ---
    Huh? What do I--
[11:08] ---
    What was that?!
[11:09] ---
    Oh, Father...!
[11:13] ---
    Are you hurt?
[11:14] ---
    The priest just suddenly...!
[11:17] ---
    An Infernal!
[11:20] ---
    Why? He is always praying! Why would he...?
[11:24] ---
    I'll put him to rest!
[11:27] ---
    Please keep back!
[11:36] ---
    Sister! The prayer!
[11:38] ---
    R-Right.
[11:39] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[11:45] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
[11:54] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire!
[12:05] ---
    Látom.
[12:09] ---
    Why? Oh, Father!
[12:12] ---
    He prayed to God every day.
[12:17] ---
    Just what good are our prayers?
[12:20] ---
    Sister...
[12:22] ---
    Does God not have any mercy?
[12:28] ---
    Látom.
[12:32] ---
    It is fortunate that there was
    a Fire Soldier here.
[12:36] ---
    Oh, no...
[12:37] ---
    The father was such a good man.
    What does God take our prayers for?
[12:47] ---
    About what we were discussing before...
[12:50] ---
    If the Evangelist was the one
    who created the Holy Sol Temple,
[12:54] ---
    doesn't that mean that the God
    we worship is the Evangelist?
[12:59] ---
    The Evangelist...?
[13:03] ---
    An inhuman being beyond human understanding.
[13:06] ---
    When I experienced that Adolla Link,
[13:08] ---
    I felt the impression that she was
    just such an otherworldly being.
[13:12] ---
    That might just be close to
    who we picture as "God" in our minds.
[13:17] ---
    But this God wants people to destroy the world,
[13:20] ---
    and wishes death and suffering upon us.
[13:23] ---
    If we clergy members believe in her teachings...
[13:29] ---
    ...then we are also
    leading people to their deaths.
[13:32] ---
    That's not true!
[13:35] ---
    I'm the one who killed him.
[13:37] ---
    No! Shinra-san, you gave him rest
    from the torment of the flames!
[13:41] ---
    Yes. There was no choice but to put him to rest.
[13:45] ---
    I realize that, but my feet
    are still tingling, even now,
[13:50] ---
    and my heart is fluttering.
[13:53] ---
    Once, Captain Obi said to me
[13:57] ---
    that the most terrifying thing about
    this job is getting accustomed to it.
[14:01] ---
    I thought I wanted to get
    a little used to this, but I couldn't.
[14:05] ---
    Still,
[14:06] ---
    that's precisely the reason why
    we Fire Soldiers need sisters.
[14:11] ---
    I ran into Lieutenant Huo Yan earlier.
[14:14] ---
    He said that the Sun he prays to
    is unmistakably there,
[14:19] ---
    and that his faith has
    nothing to do with the Evangelist.
[14:23] ---
    I suppose that's true.
[14:25] ---
    So you please keep looking forward, too, Sister.
[14:31] ---
    It's because you see the Sun--
[14:34] ---
    see its light that the rest of us
    can keep fighting.
[14:38] ---
    To those of us at the 8th,
    you are kind of like our own sunflower.
[14:43] ---
    I'm... the 8th's...
[14:46] ---
    ...sunflower?
[14:52] ---
    But irises aren't sunflowers.
[14:54] ---
    Right, sorry!
[14:59] ---
    Thank you very much.
    You've made me... very happy.
[15:04] ---
    But please don't overdo it, okay?
[15:08] ---
    Sure.
[15:13] ---
    I'm fine.
[15:19] ---
    Sister Iris, that was a very good prayer.
[15:24] ---
    Thank you very much.
[15:27] ---
    Okay...
[15:28] ---
    Do you want me to carry one?
[15:29] ---
    Oh, no. The heavy lifting is our job, after all.
[15:33] ---
    If I had to, I could even carry you, as well!
[15:35] ---
    Muscles! Muscles!
[15:37] ---
    Huh? That would be too much!
[15:38] ---
    I could totally do it! C'mon, c'mon!
[15:42] ---
    I-I'm on.
[15:44] ---
    Oh, I can do it.
[15:48] ---
    Wah! Are you all right?!
[15:50] ---
    Compared to all the captain's gear,
    this is nothing!
[15:55] ---
    Shinra-san...
[15:57] ---
    ...the next time I have something
    on my mind, I'll come to you with it first.
[16:02] ---
    Right. I'll be glad to.
[16:09] ---
    I promise.
[16:15] ---
    What's this? His training is complete?
[16:19] ---
    At last, he has completed his training.
[16:22] ---
    The 8th is finished for sure this time.
[16:26] ---
    The Fire Blast departs.
[16:28] ---
    Or rather...
[16:31] ---
    ...off he goes.
[16:35] ---
    "Episode 18:
    The Man, Assault"
[16:43] ---
    In my clash with the 8th in the Nether,
[16:46] ---
    I was to eliminate them all as the Slaughterer.
[16:50] ---
    However, I ran into an
    unexpected assassin there...
[16:55] ---
    Tamaki Kotatsu. Despite her innocent appearance,
[16:59] ---
    her shamelessness is unparalleled.
[17:03] ---
    She makes my skin crawl.
    If I'm going to bring down the 8th,
[17:06] ---
    I'll have to take her out first.
[17:09] ---
    That's why I've been training. Day in
    and day out, sunrise to sunset, I trained.
[17:15] ---
    All to resist that damnably audacious woman!
[17:21] ---
    I read pornographic magazines.
[17:24] ---
    I also took in lewd books,
    and even viewed salacious videos.
[17:28] ---
    I looked at everything!
[17:31] ---
    I have overcome the female form.
[17:35] ---
    Just you wait, Tamaki Kotatsu.
[17:38] ---
    Away!
[17:42] ---
    "Letter of challenge"
[17:44] ---
    What's this?
[17:46] ---
    "I will expect you at the picturesque
    vacant lot in 2-chome."
[17:51] ---
    Is this a new style of love letter?!
[17:53] ---
    "Vacant lot"
[17:54] ---
    It's you...
[17:56] ---
    Assault, the Bloody Fire Blast!
[17:59] ---
    You have guts, coming here alone,
    Tamaki Kotatsu.
[18:03] ---
    Why are you here?!
[18:05] ---
    There's no reason to explain to someone
    whose death is imminent. Die!
[18:12] ---
    The wrinkle in her underwear-- It's so sensuous!
[18:16] ---
    Damn it! I never realized it was this bad!
[18:19] ---
    Off I go...
[18:21] ---
    It's different when it comes to the real thing.
[18:25] ---
    Nya!
[18:29] ---
    What? Assault failed?
[18:32] ---
    It seems that this target
    is exceptionally powerful.
[18:36] ---
    So where is Assault right now?
[18:40] ---
    Apparently embarking on new training.
[18:45] ---
    I was a fool for thinking I knew what I was
    dealing with from paper and video.
[18:49] ---
    The real thing... The real thing
    is so much different.
[18:53] ---
    In which case... off I go!
[18:56] ---
    "Club Chupa Cabaret"
[18:56] ---
    Away!
[18:58] ---
    Welcome, sir.
[18:59] ---
    Welcome, sir.
[19:00] ---
    --Do you have someone specific in mind?
    --One bottle coming up.
[19:03] ---
    You sure your breasts
    haven't gotten even bigger?
[19:05] ---
    Ha-ha-ha, oh please!
[19:07] ---
    Scythe-san, what's wrong? Are you crying again?
[19:10] ---
    My daughter simply refuses to speak to me.
[19:13] ---
    Something about this place
    is giving me goosebumps all over.
[19:17] ---
    I really do love Makami, though.
    I'm a good father, right?
[19:21] ---
    How do you do?
[19:24] ---
    I'm Saki. It's a pleasure to meet you.
[19:27] ---
    This is dynamite.
[19:29] ---
    Eh? What's the big idea, wearing a tuxedo?
    Did you sneak out of a wedding?
[19:35] ---
    Mister, I can tell, there's something
    different about you.
[19:37] ---
    Th-There is?
[19:39] ---
    You're not like ordinary men. I can tell.
[19:44] ---
    I'm really not like other men.
[19:46] ---
    There's no reason why
    I can't beat Tamaki Kotatsu.
[19:51] ---
    I'm surprisingly good at talking to women, huh?
[19:54] ---
    Perhaps I actually have a gift
    when it comes to dealing with women.
[19:58] ---
    Which means it's on, Tamaki Kotatsu.
[20:02] ---
    Away!
[20:05] ---
    No!
[20:07] ---
    How come?!
[20:10] ---
    D-Don't look at me.
[20:14] ---
    Wh-What is this?! This innocent bashfulness?!
[20:19] ---
    It's different when it comes to amateurs!
[20:25] ---
    She's good. She's too good.
[20:29] ---
    I've never encountered
    a foe this formidable before.
[20:33] ---
    Which is all the more reason why
    I have to get past this.
[20:36] ---
    I am the Assassin of the Abyss.
[20:39] ---
    I am Assault, the Bloody Fire Blast, after all.

    "Edogawa-ku Waterproofing Day"
[20:46] ---
    After my third defeat,
[20:48] ---
    I went someplace where strong gusts
    tended to cause wardrobe malfunctions,
[20:51] ---
    and waited for them to happen.
[20:54] ---
    My finely-honed visual acuity
    would not let anything go unnoticed.
[20:58] ---
    --Gah! Knock it off, you pervy wind!
    Sicko! Deviant!
[21:00] ---
    --Amateur panties! Now to burn
    their bashfulness into my retinas!
    --Gah! Knock it off, you pervy wind! Sicko! Deviant!
[21:06] ---
    My training is complete. There is
    no factor that can defeat me now.
[21:11] ---
    You have at last conquered it?
[21:14] ---
    Yes.
[21:19] ---
    He stopped my arrow with a single finger.
    His skills are absolutely sharp.
[21:25] ---
    Assault, off you go, right?
[21:33] ---
    "Off I go"
[21:36] ---
    Off I go...
[21:39] ---
    Assault...
[21:43] ---
    Enough, already!
[21:45] ---
    What the hell is your problem?!
[21:47] ---
    This will be the last time.
[21:49] ---
    Glimpse.
[21:51] ---
    I've grown, as well. I can withstand that much.
[21:56] ---
    Try as hard as you want, it's still no use!
[21:58] ---
    Yes, you're right.
    It's no use, just like you say.
[22:03] ---
    I know it, as well.
    I can see how this plays out.
[22:08] ---
    No matter how often I try, there is no chance...
[22:11] ---
    ...of me winning this fight.
[22:14] ---
    It's different when it
    comes to an opponent I like.
[22:18] ---
    Away!

[24:04] ---
    A communique arrives at the 8th
    from the Imperial Armed Forces.
[24:07] ---
    Written within it is an invitation to a new war.
[24:11] ---
    No, I don't want this!
[24:15] ---
    I'm going back to the Armed Forces?
