**[00:00] ---**
Y--
**[00:01] ---**
You're leaving the military?
**[00:03] ---**
There's a new unit that's shorthanded,
**[00:06] ---**
and the sense I got was that
they would take whoever they could,
**[00:08] ---**
so I thought that even a novice
like myself could be of help to them.
**[00:12] ---**
But your work in the military
is worthwhile, too, isn't it?
**[00:15] ---**
Mm-mm.
**[00:18] ---**
I want to join the Special Fire Force
and be someone who protects others.
**[01:53] ---**
"Episode 19:
The Oze Family"
**[01:56] ---**
"Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces,
Command Center"
**[01:59] ---**
General Oze, we've received a periodic
report from the Special Fire Force.
**[02:04] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[02:13] ---**
A periodic report...
**[02:16] ---**
...from the Special Fire Force, you say?
**[02:19] ---**
Hmm?
**[02:20] ---**
"Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces,
Integrated Security Operations"
"General Danro Oze"
**[02:23] ---**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[02:27] ---**
That was terrifying.
**[02:28] ---**
Hmm? Something the matter?
**[02:31] ---**
Oh, I was delivering
the Special Fire Force's periodic report,
**[02:35] ---**
and General Oze was rather imposing.
**[02:38] ---**
Ah, that explains it.
**[02:41] ---**
His daughter sure was cute, huh?
**[02:43] ---**
She's stationed at Yokota Air Base, isn't she?
**[02:45] ---**
No, she's left the military.
**[02:48] ---**
I hear she went against
General Oze's objections
**[02:50] ---**
and joined Special Fire Force Company 8.
**[02:54] ---**
"Oze Residence"
**[03:16] ---**
Was I always this beefy?
**[03:31] ---**
I'm home.
**[03:32] ---**
My, you're home early today.
**[03:34] ---**
I had the early shift,
and my relief came in early, too.
**[03:37] ---**
I'll take your coat.
**[03:39] ---**
Thanks.
**[03:42] ---**
CID is no walk in the park.
**[03:45] ---**
"Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces,
Criminal Investigation Division"
"1st Lieutenant Takigi Oze"
**[03:48] ---**
The missus is getting dinner ready right now.
**[03:51] ---**
It's been some time since the whole family
has gotten together, hasn't it?
**[03:54] ---**
Yeah, it sure has.
**[04:03] ---**
Wow, this looks so good!
**[04:05] ---**
Mom, this is quite a feast!
**[04:07] ---**
We're all eating together today, so...
**[04:10] ---**
Danro-*san*!
**[04:13] ---**
Dad!
**[04:18] ---**
It's been a long time since we've
eaten together, huh, Maki-*chan*?
**[04:23] ---**
Mom really went all-out.
Do you think we can eat all this?
**[04:27] ---**
General Oze, the Empire's Nio Guardian,
**[04:29] ---**
is putty in the hands of his daughter
when she's around.
**[04:32] ---**
Ahem! Takigi, I see you're home.
**[04:35] ---**
Being a general at home, too,
would be exhausting.
**[04:38] ---**
Okay, dig in before it gets cold.
**[04:43] ---**
Delicious!
**[04:44] ---**
Mm-hmm, this is good, Mom.
**[04:46] ---**
Nothing is better than dinner
with the whole family.
**[04:49] ---**
I'll bet the lieutenant is the only one
who can rival Mom's cooking.
**[04:53] ---**
The lieutenant? Hinawa, wasn't it?
**[04:57] ---**
That's the man who lured you into
that dangerous Fire Force job, right?
**[05:00] ---**
It's all right. I'm not
as fragile as I was before.
**[05:07] ---**
Twin Cobras--
**[05:07] ---**
You've put on more weight again, haven't you?
**[05:11] ---**
No I haven't.
**[05:13] ---**
Let me see them again.
They were as big around as my waist--
**[05:15] ---**
--That's not true at all!
You can't just say whatever--
**[05:17] ---**
--Takigi,
--That's not true at all!
You can't just say whatever--
**[05:18] ---**
it's bad manners to point
at someone with your fork.
**[05:21] ---**
He's right, though. Maki-*chan*, are you sure
you aren't overdoing your training?
**[05:25] ---**
You're going to scare off any suitors.
**[05:27] ---**
You really are an awful brother!
**[05:31] ---**
Someday, a prince on a white horse
will come along and fall in love with me!
**[05:36] ---**
Maki-*chan* may be macho on the outside,
**[05:37] ---**
but she still has a flower garden
for a mind, and is adorable!
**[05:41] ---**
There's where she gets her dual personality.
**[05:42] ---**
It's bad manners to get so giddy while eating.
**[05:45] ---**
Oh, it's my girl.
**[05:47] ---**
You've weached Takigi! I'm having dinner
with my famiwy wight now!
**[05:51] ---**
*Now* who's got the split personality?
**[05:53] ---**
--Takigi, your baby-talk is too much.
**[05:54] ---**
--Pleasant conversation is nice and all,
--Takigi, your baby-talk is too much.
**[05:55] ---**
--Pleasant conversation is nice and all,
--Who're you calling a baby?!
**[05:57] ---**
--Pleasant conversation is nice and all,
--Maki-*chan*, you'll always be Daddy's baby.
**[05:57] ---**
--but let's observe some manners, okay?
--Maki-*chan*, you'll always be Daddy's baby.
**[05:59] ---**
How can you talk to your girlfriend like that?
**[06:03] ---**
Hey, you jerks! Have some manners
when you're eating!
**[06:06] ---**
"Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces,
Integrated Security Operations"
"General's wife, Madoka Oze"
**[06:09] ---**
Wow, this sure is good, huh?
**[06:11] ---**
--Yes.
--This steak is the best.
**[06:12] ---**
"Maki of the past"
**[06:14] ---**
Hm-hm, Maki of the past...
**[06:21] ---**
Thanks.
**[06:23] ---**
Maki, you said you've been to the Nether before.
**[06:26] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[06:27] ---**
This guy you're currently after?
**[06:29] ---**
Mm-hmm. There's an area where
we've had a string of people going missing.
**[06:34] ---**
Now we're getting reports of strange smells
coming from the Nether around there.
**[06:39] ---**
The Nether is scary.
**[06:41] ---**
I've heard that the 8th once had
a large-scale engagement in the Nether.
**[06:47] ---**
Stories have made their
way back to the military.
**[06:51] ---**
Those investigations are an unavoidable
part of our duty as Fire Soldiers.
**[06:55] ---**
Are you all right?
**[07:02] ---**
The 8th is incredibly strong.
**[07:04] ---**
The captain and lieutenant are, of course,
**[07:07] ---**
but our rookies are also the cream of the crop,
**[07:09] ---**
and we have the finest engineer
in the world with us, too.
**[07:33] ---**
We can access the Nether through here, right?
**[07:35] ---**
I never thought we'd get a search warrant.
**[07:38] ---**
I guess it shows how important
things are to the Empire
**[07:41] ---**
in matters relating to the Evangelist.
**[07:44] ---**
You visited your home yesterday, right?
**[07:46] ---**
It's the first dinner we've had
as a whole family in a long time.
**[07:50] ---**
Maki-*chan* came, too, right?
Did she say anything about the Nether?
**[07:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:55] ---**
She said she never wanted to come here again.
**[07:57] ---**
For real?
**[08:06] ---**
Watch yourself.
**[08:07] ---**
It looks so deteriorated down here.
**[08:10] ---**
The reports said there were
strange smells coming from the Nether.
**[08:14] ---**
There are a ton of underground
facilities throughout the empire
**[08:17] ---**
left over from before the Cataclysm.
**[08:21] ---**
Whoa, I am actually in the Nether.
**[08:24] ---**
My late mother would turn over in her grave.
**[08:27] ---**
The source of the smell
from the report was over that way.
**[08:32] ---**
There are so many turnoffs here.
The place is like a maze.
**[08:36] ---**
If we're likely to get lost,
we should turn back rather than be heroes.
**[08:39] ---**
I'm with you.
**[08:42] ---**
Hold up.
**[08:44] ---**
There are tracks in the dust,
like something was dragged through here.
**[08:47] ---**
They're still fresh.
**[08:49] ---**
They keep on going that way.
**[08:50] ---**
"Equipment Room"
**[08:53] ---**
An equipment room.
**[08:54] ---**
In here?
**[08:57] ---**
I hear something.
**[09:11] ---**
What is all this?
**[09:17] ---**
What is that for?
**[09:20] ---**
Is this some kind of laboratory?
**[09:22] ---**
I don't know.
**[09:23] ---**
As I'm sure you know,
the military has no intel at all about this.
**[09:31] ---**
Take a look at this.
**[09:36] ---**
An Insect?
**[09:37] ---**
I did some independent research on these,
but I never expected to see one.
**[09:42] ---**
Apparently, the White-Clad use these Insects
to artificially create Infernals.
**[09:48] ---**
Then this really is a White-Clad lab?
**[09:50] ---**
The odds are good.
**[09:52] ---**
Let's see if there's anything else here.
**[09:54] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:56] ---**
Who's there?!
**[09:59] ---**
There's someone back there. Stay sharp.
**[10:00] ---**
R-Right.
**[10:06] ---**
A charred body?
**[10:07] ---**
No, that's an Infernal.
**[10:09] ---**
What's going on here?
Its core is still intact, but it's dead.
**[10:16] ---**
Come on out! We know you're in there!
**[10:22] ---**
--Bomb!
--Get back!
**[10:38] ---**
O... ze...
**[10:42] ---**
Oze!
**[10:44] ---**
"Holy Sol Hospital"
**[10:47] ---**
Burns to the right arm, left arm fractured,
**[10:50] ---**
facial lacerations,
and bruises from head to toe.
**[10:53] ---**
It will take three months
before you're all healed,
**[10:55] ---**
but you're lucky to be alive at all.
**[10:58] ---**
You came through okay?
**[11:01] ---**
Just some scratches, thanks to you.
**[11:03] ---**
What's the status of the scene?
**[11:05] ---**
The blast from the suicide bomber
blew just about everything up.
**[11:09] ---**
So those are the White-Clad.
**[11:12] ---**
If they'll even blow themselves up,
they're more dangerous than I imagined.
**[11:16] ---**
This is the crowd that Maki-*chan* is taking on?
**[11:21] ---**
This man, Lieutenant Hinawa,
recruited Maki to a fight like this?
**[11:30] ---**
I see.
**[11:31] ---**
So my son is all right.
**[11:33] ---**
But what the hell is down in the Nether?
**[11:38] ---**
All military organizations thus far
**[11:40] ---**
have been kept out of the loop when
it comes to matters of the White-Clad.
**[11:46] ---**
However,
**[11:47] ---**
as defenders of the empire, we can't afford
to be left out in the cold anymore!
**[11:53] ---**
Get me Honda, from Special Fire Force Company 2!
**[11:56] ---**
He must be getting tired of
sitting around on this, too!
**[12:01] ---**
I'm giving the 2nd a mission
to investigate the Nether!
**[12:19] ---**
Sil-burro, nice security work again today.
**[12:21] ---**
You're always at that, huh?
**[12:24] ---**
Sil-burro was a traumatized donkey
**[12:27] ---**
who sprouted bull's horns,
thanks to Hinawa's wicked experiments.
**[12:30] ---**
Now that the benevolent Knight King
has taken him in, he is happy.
**[12:34] ---**
Oh! Oh!
**[12:35] ---**
Wha--? You've gone and stuffed trash
into Sil-burro's mouth again!
**[12:39] ---**
Confounded devil! You're so low
you would abuse animals like that?!
**[12:42] ---**
Take it down! That thing is so ugly!
**[12:44] ---**
--And the trash thing wasn't me!
**[12:45] ---**
--They're fighting again.
--And the trash thing wasn't me!
**[12:46] ---**
--They're fighting again.
--You expect me to trust anything you say?!
**[12:48] ---**
--Here, Sil-burro-*chan*, it's feeding time.
--My trash can is right there!
**[12:53] ---**
I *told* you it wasn't me!
**[12:55] ---**
--Hmph! Your deeds every day are evil!
What do you expect?!
**[12:57] ---**
--Vulcan-*san* said that donkeys don't eat paper.
--Hmph! Your deeds every day are evil!
What do you expect?!
**[13:00] ---**
We're not supposed to feed it to goats, either.
**[13:02] ---**
Even though the black goat eats his mail?
**[13:04] ---**
It's like this every morning at the 8th, huh?
**[13:07] ---**
Everyone here's an idiot.
**[13:09] ---**
Hinawa...
**[13:11] ---**
A moment?
**[13:14] ---**
Take a look at this. It arrived this morning
from the Imperial Armed Forces.
**[13:23] ---**
A mission to investigate
testing facilities in the Nether...
**[13:26] ---**
Does this mean the military
is going into the Nether?
**[13:29] ---**
Specifically, it's a joint operation
between the 2nd and the 8th.
**[13:33] ---**
They've requested our assistance.
**[13:35] ---**
No doubt because we've had
previous experience in the Nether.
**[13:39] ---**
Right. But the issue is what's written
at the bottom of the page.
**[13:46] ---**
The crew members of the 8th
belong to the Fire Defense Agency.
**[13:49] ---**
We can refuse a request from the military.
**[13:54] ---**
Hinawa, what should we do?
**[14:00] ---**
What is it, sir?
**[14:06] ---**
Okay. The Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces...
**[14:08] ---**
"...the return of Maki Oze..."
**[14:12] ---**
J-Just a minute, sir. This is...
**[14:14] ---**
...an order for you to return to the military.
**[14:17] ---**
But I'm no longer in the military;
I'm a Fire Soldier!
**[14:19] ---**
Yes, exactly right. But this comes
straight from your father, General Oze.
**[14:26] ---**
That has nothing to do with it.
Obviously I'm staying with the 8th.
**[14:30] ---**
I understand your brother in CID was
badly hurt investigating in the Nether.
**[14:34] ---**
It wasn't anything life-threatening, sir.
**[14:36] ---**
The actions of the White-Clad
are getting more extreme by the day.
**[14:40] ---**
Your father is probably just worried about you.
**[14:44] ---**
I'm sure, but I'll be fine.
**[14:48] ---**
I'm proud of the Special Fire Force
that the lieutenant recruited me for.
**[14:53] ---**
Isn't that right, sir?
**[14:59] ---**
Maki, go back to the military.
**[15:04] ---**
Huh?
**[15:08] ---**
A joint operation with the 8th?
**[15:12] ---**
I hear it's supposed to be a large-scale
investigation of the Nether.
**[15:15] ---**
Hajiki-*senpai*!
**[15:16] ---**
We're going to uncover
the White-Clad's testing facilities.
**[15:19] ---**
I sure hope Tamaki-*san* is coming, too.
**[15:21] ---**
--Hmm?
--Oh, nothing!
**[15:25] ---**
I can't get this lid open!
**[15:29] ---**
Good morning.
**[15:31] ---**
What are you doing?
**[15:33] ---**
The lid on this jar tightens up in no time,
**[15:36] ---**
so I always had Maki-*san* open it for me.
**[15:40] ---**
Isn't a same-day return a little sudden?
**[15:48] ---**
Maki is the daughter of
an Imperial Armed Forces general.
**[15:51] ---**
This is probably a way to ensure
she doesn't join the mission--
**[15:56] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[15:57] ---**
This is why I always asked Maki-*san*
to do it. You're too strong.
**[16:03] ---**
So, when is Maki coming back?
**[16:09] ---**
--Maki-*san*... isn't ever coming back.
--Nuh-uh.
**[16:12] ---**
M-Maki-*san* decided this on her own--
**[16:13] ---**
I'm not listening!
**[16:15] ---**
--Maki-*san* decided this on--
--Ah!
**[16:18] ---**
What is wrong with you? Are you a child?
**[16:23] ---**
I don't want-- No one wants to admit it...
**[16:28] ---**
"Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces,
Secretarial Division"
**[16:33] ---**
11:00, huh?
**[16:35] ---**
Ordinarily, we'd finish our office work
**[16:37] ---**
and start training now.
**[16:48] ---**
Me, return to the military?
**[16:54] ---**
The White-Clad's activities
are becoming more extreme.
**[16:58] ---**
This is no mission for Daddy's precious girl.
**[17:09] ---**
Very well, sir.
**[17:12] ---**
The lieutenant still thinks
I'm not up to the task.
**[17:21] ---**
Secretary Oze, I am Captain Hiraoka!
Thank you for working so hard!
**[17:24] ---**
Good morning, Captain Hiraoka.
**[17:28] ---**
Ugh, they're treating me with kid gloves.
**[17:32] ---**
Wasn't that General Oze's...?
**[17:34] ---**
Yeah. Isn't she adorable?
**[17:36] ---**
Our Nio Guardian has
fathered a celestial maiden.
**[17:42] ---**
Good morning.
**[17:43] ---**
Did you have this morning off?
**[17:45] ---**
Well, we have so little to do.
Nice, relaxed workplace, isn't it?
**[17:50] ---**
We're surrounded by our choice of
the military's elite, and the pay is great.
**[17:55] ---**
This is peak princess's privilege.
**[17:58] ---**
Yes it is.
**[18:00] ---**
We both grew up always being told
how cute we were by everyone around us,
**[18:06] ---**
coddled and loved, which is why we're
so much more agreeable than others.
**[18:12] ---**
Plus we're thoughtful,
**[18:13] ---**
making us the perfect people to
place in the elite's showcase, right?
**[18:17] ---**
Welcome to the stereotype,
where we actually do type.
**[18:31] ---**
Go back to the military.
**[18:35] ---**
What's that? Your insignia from the 8th?
**[18:37] ---**
Oh, this? Y-Yes it is.
It was a going-away present.
**[18:50] ---**
Good morning, Maki-*chan*.
**[18:52] ---**
G-General Oze? Huh? "Maki-*chan*"?
**[18:56] ---**
General Oze, the Nio Guardian of the Empire,
calls his daughter Maki-*chan*?
**[19:04] ---**
I'll just step out for a bit, okay?
**[19:05] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:10] ---**
I'm glad you've come back.
**[19:13] ---**
I just returned to where I should be.
**[19:17] ---**
Gotta keep your bird in her cage.
**[19:20] ---**
Maki-*chan*, you're upset at me.
**[19:24] ---**
You promised me you would
be keeping people safe,
**[19:27] ---**
but committing yourself to dangerous battles
wasn't part of the agreement.
**[19:31] ---**
But I know you aren't the kind of girl
who breaks her promises.
**[19:39] ---**
You were tricked by Lieutenant Hinawa
at the 8th, weren't you?
**[19:46] ---**
Whatever the case,
it's a relief having you back here.
**[19:50] ---**
We'll talk about it when there's more time.
**[20:00] ---**
Dad isn't at fault here.
He was just worried about me.
**[20:05] ---**
The same goes for Lieutenant Hinawa.
**[20:08] ---**
I'm the disappointment for
always being so unacceptable.
**[20:15] ---**
I was trying so hard, too.
They're both so demanding.
**[20:21] ---**
Training isn't something
you work hard to get through.
**[20:24] ---**
You need to get through it with ease.
**[20:27] ---**
Yeah, demanding, all right.
**[20:31] ---**
Maybe I'm driving myself too hard.
**[20:36] ---**
Even birds in their cages have concerns.
**[20:38] ---**
The rest of the world wouldn't understand.
**[20:48] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 2, Captain"
"Gustav Honda"
**[20:50] ---**
I'm training my head and neck.
**[20:53] ---**
Don't mind me, please begin.
**[20:56] ---**
All right, the things to be
mindful of on this mission are--
**[21:02] ---**
Mm-hmm, continue.
**[21:06] ---**
There are many facilities in Tokyo's Nether,
**[21:09] ---**
but most of them collapsed
during the Great Cataclysm,
**[21:12] ---**
were buried under rubble, and are inaccessible
without digging them out.
**[21:16] ---**
As such, we are looking for a location
that can be easily reached,
**[21:18] ---**
and does not require excavation.
**[21:21] ---**
This narrows down the points we need to search.
**[21:25] ---**
These locations were proposed
by Lieutenant Oze, of CID.
**[21:29] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[21:30] ---**
If we investigate each one in turn,
we run the risk of tipping the enemy off.
**[21:35] ---**
We believe the best plan is to
begin searching each area in unison.
**[21:39] ---**
In that case, we will deploy
multiple companies at once.
**[21:43] ---**
I'm Lieutenant Ayabe.
**[21:45] ---**
In that case, since the 8th
has experience in the Nether,
**[21:47] ---**
we should have you split up
and place someone in each company.
**[21:50] ---**
All right then, please have each company
investigate these points simultaneously.
**[21:56] ---**
Mm-hmm!
**[21:59] ---**
Attention, Special Fire Force Company 2!
**[22:01] ---**
This is an order to all units!
**[22:04] ---**
Tomorrow morning at 0800,
we begin Operation Nether Investigation!
**[22:11] ---**
Those of us from the 8th
**[22:13] ---**
will be mobilizing separately
with companies from the 2nd?
**[22:16] ---**
Mm-hmm. This will be
our first mission without Maki.
**[22:20] ---**
Let's all keep on our toes!
**[22:22] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
