[00:03] ---
    What is with this guy? There's no stopping him.
[00:34] ---
    Juggernaut!
[00:40] ---
    Juggernaut...
[00:48] ---
    I have to stop the bleeding.
[00:50] ---
    We need to move, fast,
    before more Infernals come.
[00:54] ---
    Kotatsu-san, you should get away by yourself...
[00:57] ---
    I don't think I can stand up anymore...
[01:01] ---
    I can't feel my left leg...
[01:05] ---
    I think it's probably...
[01:07] ---
    There's no way I'm leaving you here!
[01:10] ---
    You should get away from here, quickly...
[01:14] ---
    If you try... to carry a big lug like me
    with you... it'll slow you down...
[01:24] ---
    It feels like now, at the end, I was as big
    a man on the inside as on the outside...
[01:33] ---
    Yeah, you were amazing! You defeated
    a White-Clad all by yourself!
[01:38] ---
    It's all thanks to you... that I was
    able to avenge Hajiki-senpai...
[01:46] ---
    You gave me courage...
[01:51] ---
    You made me a man...
[01:54] ---
    That's why I have no regrets...
[01:59] ---
    I would like to have seen my potato fields
    back home one last time, though...
[02:04] ---
    But having you watch over me...
    that seems like asking too much...
[02:11] ---
    I couldn't ask for more than to
    pass in the Nether... like a potato...
[02:17] ---
    You dummy! You dug your
    potatoes up, didn't you?!
[02:20] ---
    Potatoes have to last
    until they're above ground!
[02:27] ---
    Juggernaut...?
[02:39] ---
    I swear I will take Juggernaut
    back to the surface!
[04:13] ---
    "Episode 21:
    Enemy Contact"
[04:20] ---
    We're dead! Damn it!
[04:21] ---
    Fire! Fire! He's already dead!
[04:27] ---
    This is the doing of the Evangelist's men.
[04:29] ---
    --Maki was fighting people as dangerous as this?
    --Not you, too! No!
[04:33] ---
    I assume you had Maki safely supporting
    the rest of you from the rear?
[04:37] ---
    We had her on the front line
    as a meat shield, naturally.
[04:40] ---
    You used my sister as a meat shield?!
[04:48] ---
    We're on the battlefield. Please pay attention.
[04:50] ---
    You just told me the most outrageous--
[04:53] ---
    It's just one thing after another.
[04:56] ---
    Now what?
[05:03] ---
    I am Iron, Knight of the Purple Haze!
    I will burn away you surface scum!
[05:09] ---
    He's a White-Clad.
[05:15] ---
    To announce himself
    on the battlefield like that,
[05:17] ---
    he must be Arthur levels of stupid.
[05:20] ---
    Hmm? Were those mosquito bites or something?
[05:24] ---
    My gun had no effect. What's going on here?
[05:27] ---
    I have a lot more questions to ask you
    about Maki. Stay behind me.
[05:31] ---
    Wishful thinking! You cannot even
    scratch my steely body with that thing!
[05:42] ---
    The squad has gone into complete panic mode.
[05:47] ---
    How many are dead?
    Lives are being lost way too easily.
[05:52] ---
    Concentrate. Feel the life around you.
[06:01] ---
    Who's there?!
[06:13] ---
    Long time, Shinra Kusakabe.
[06:17] ---
    Dr. Giovanni!
[06:18] ---
    What are you scheming down here in the Nether?!
[06:21] ---
    Was the lab that Detective Oze
    discovered one of yours?!
[06:24] ---
    How many have you killed?!
    What are you trying to do?! Answer me!
[06:28] ---
    The lab was nothing more than chum in the water.
[06:32] ---
    And the Fire Force fell for the trap,
    hook, line, and sinker.
[06:37] ---
    What?!
[06:38] ---
    And now, Shinra Kusakabe,
[06:41] ---
    you will come and join us,
    along with your brother.
[06:45] ---
    Where is Sho?!
[06:47] ---
    I came customized for combat.
    Not like anything you've seen before.
[06:55] ---
    What was that?!
[06:59] ---
    I told you, I'm not like
    anything you've seen before.
[07:02] ---
    This body has an increased
    affinity with the Insects.
[07:06] ---
    Affinity? What did you...
[07:10] ---
    ...do to your body?
[07:15] ---
    I hear the 2nd and the 8th
[07:16] ---
    are conducting a joint large-scale
    investigation in the Nether.
[07:19] ---
    Are we finally going to find out
    who the White-Clad are?
[07:25] ---
    Not the Nether again...
[07:30] ---
    Crewman Kusakabe, are you all right?!
[07:33] ---
    Stay out of this.
[07:35] ---
    What do you take people for?
    What have you done to your body?!
[07:48] ---
    Insect legs?
[07:52] ---
    Damn it, now we're up against monsters?!
[07:55] ---
    Fire! Fire!
[08:06] ---
    Get back, please! I'll take this one!
[08:12] ---
    Evacuating the wounded takes first priority.
[08:15] ---
    I have to draw Dr. Giovanni away.
[08:17] ---
    You insist on protecting the wounded?
[08:21] ---
    Our objective here is you.
    Why don't you worry about yourself?
[08:27] ---
    If I use my speed to close the distance
    in a flash and hammer him--
[08:30] ---
    No matter how much faith
    you place in your speed,
[08:33] ---
    you have to do better than just charge into me.
[08:37] ---
    How did he know what I was thinking?
[08:39] ---
    Hair-pencils.
[08:42] ---
    Organs that only male moths possess,
    which utilize pheromones.
[08:47] ---
    They are able to release and detect pheromones.
[08:50] ---
    I took this capability, expanded upon it,
[08:53] ---
    and developed the ability to read
    human emotional and psychological states.
[08:58] ---
    I know what you're thinking.
    You might say a little bug told me.
[09:05] ---
    What is it with you and Insects?
    What are those things?!
[09:09] ---
    I'm sure you've heard the theory, right?
[09:11] ---
    About how Insects are
    an extraterrestrial life form
[09:15] ---
    who landed here as eggs attached to
    a meteor? Just as that theory states,
[09:19] ---
    the Insects are not of this world.
[09:23] ---
    They are creatures from Adolla.
[09:26] ---
    I have been performing experiments to
    prove that if you fuse an Adollan Insect
[09:29] ---
    with a human being,
    they can get closer to Adolla.
[09:33] ---
    You mean you experimented on yourself
[09:36] ---
    to alter your compatibility
    with Insects and Adolla?!
[09:39] ---
    No need to be impatient; I will show you
    the results of my experiments!
[09:47] ---
    This is a time for the Knight King
    himself to bring up the rear.
[09:50] ---
    Take the wounded and find
    an exit to the surface at once.
[09:53] ---
    Thanks a million.
[10:07] ---
    In battle, I am a one-man army!
    My sword possessed with a divine frenzy!
[10:20] ---
    He left us.
[10:22] ---
    What does he think bringing up the rear means?
[10:25] ---
    He missed one of them!
[10:27] ---
    Fall back! Fall back!
[10:33] ---
    I won't let you get away with this!
[10:35] ---
    What are you talking about?
    You're all caught in our trap.
[10:47] ---
    The plasma user...?
[10:50] ---
    Arthur! What are you doing here?
    What happened to your squad?
[10:54] ---
    The Knight King brought up
    their rear to let them get away.
[10:58] ---
    Are you sure the "rear" is
    supposed to come way up here?
[11:00] ---
    Hmph, what does a fool like you know
    about the rear guard, anyway?
[11:04] ---
    There are now two of you? No matter.
[11:09] ---
    I was just wondering what I was
    going to do with all these legs.
[11:25] ---
    Please stay behind me! This one is dangerous!
[11:32] ---
    No, you stay behind me!
[11:42] ---
    "Martensite"
[11:47] ---
    He repelled them?
[11:48] ---
    Sergeant, are you sure you even hit him?!
[11:50] ---
    I'm beginning to have doubts
    about your marksmanship!
[11:53] ---
    You lured Maki over to the Fire Force,
    when she's not cut out for that work.
[11:58] ---
    Your eye for judging people
    is as off the mark as your aim.
[12:06] ---
    That steam is out of this world.
[12:08] ---
    He must be a type of
    third generation pyrokinetic
[12:11] ---
    who uses his pyrokinesis within his body.
[12:13] ---
    That won't work! That won't work!
[12:16] ---
    My steely body is as hard as nails!
[12:22] ---
    Martensite!
[12:26] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
    What is up with this guy's body?!
[12:34] ---
    His body can repel bullets
    and smash through pillars.
[12:39] ---
    His body is exceptionally hardened.
[12:43] ---
    Ironclad reasoning! You are correct!
[12:47] ---
    You've heard of the tempering
    that takes place with metal, right?
[12:50] ---
    By heating metal to a high temperature,
[12:53] ---
    and then rapidly cooling it,
[12:55] ---
    the metal forms an extremely
    tough martensite structure.
[13:00] ---
    Its hardness is greater
    than before it was heated.
[13:04] ---
    Using my pyrokinetic abilities,
    I heat the iron content within me.
[13:08] ---
    Then, by quickly cooling myself,
    I can manipulate the hardness of my body!
[13:12] ---
    But I am not merely hardened!
[13:15] ---
    In a sense, I have an unyielding,
    tough-as-steel body!
[13:23] ---
    Hey, Sergeant, are these the kinds of
    monsters that Maki has been fighting?
[13:27] ---
    We learned man-to-man
    combat in the military, too.
[13:30] ---
    Man-to-man? Against someone like that?!
[13:32] ---
    If your opponent has joints in his limbs,
    nothing else about him matters.
[13:36] ---
    Sergeant!
[13:37] ---
    I am a lieutenant with the 8th, now.
[13:43] ---
    Flames! Extra-hard!
[13:47] ---
    We'll come back to Maki later;
    right now, focus on the enemy in front of us!
[13:51] ---
    At least I wish I could, but I can't
    until I get some questions answered!
[13:54] ---
    Please try to focus.
[13:56] ---
    You don't understand a thing about Maki!
    She's a gentle flower garden of a girl!
[14:01] ---
    --Don't drag her into this weirdness!
    --Try to focus.
[14:04] ---
    The Special Fire Force
    claims to put lives first,
[14:07] ---
    but what you do at the 8th
    is simply go berserk with fighting!
[14:11] ---
    I don't want you bunch of barbarians
    involved with the Oze family!
[14:17] ---
    The 8th is not some pack of berserkers.
[14:20] ---
    I mean, I might be, but the 8th is different.
[14:24] ---
    You're savages who can only
    do your work through violence.
[14:28] ---
    Watch out! Please step back!
[14:31] ---
    I was right to leave Maki behind!
[14:33] ---
    I'm never letting her get near
    a situation like this again!
[14:39] ---
    Maki is no longer the delicate girl
    you think she is, Lieutenant Oze!
[14:43] ---
    No, I'd guess not! Not after being with
    barbarians like you, Sergeant!
[14:48] ---
    Flames! Extra-crispy-hard!
[15:00] ---
    How long are you going to
    use that wimpy pea-shooter?
[15:02] ---
    You get it already, don't you?
[15:04] ---
    If I'm going to hit his weak points,
[15:06] ---
    I have to shoot with absolute accuracy,
    before his guard is up.
[15:08] ---
    Flaming crispy-hard fist!
[15:12] ---
    Shut up! I'm trying to
    talk about my sister here!
[15:14] ---
    I'm sick of your flames,
    and I'm going to strip them away!
[15:18] ---
    You're the one who needs to
    shut up, Lieutenant Oze.
[15:25] ---
    Ricochet Control!
[15:27] ---
    "Ricochet Control"
[15:33] ---
    I don't care how hard you make your body,
[15:36] ---
    you can't harden your joints, too,
    if you want to move about.
[15:40] ---
    Yeah, that's true. That's why
    I couldn't be a protector...
[15:45] ---
    ...despite being this rock-hard...
[15:54] ---
    If we had left Maki there at the 8th,
[15:57] ---
    she might have become as buff as this guy.
[16:01] ---
    Butt out of the Oze family.
[16:02] ---
    Please try to focus.
[16:10] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[16:12] ---
    May thy soul...
[16:16] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire. Látom.
[16:21] ---
    Damn it, there's no end to them.
[16:26] ---
    Juggernaut...
[16:29] ---
    I swear, I'm taking you out of here.
[16:36] ---
    I don't see Orochi around. Where is she?
[16:39] ---
    Two more of those pointy hoods?
[16:42] ---
    What's this? There's a straggler.
[16:45] ---
    Girl, are you the one who finished Orochi?
[16:52] ---
    I'm no match!
[17:00] ---
    There's no way I can beat them...
    I have no choice but to run...
[17:06] ---
    Just me, by myself?
[17:11] ---
    No way! I can't leave Juggernaut behind!
[17:24] ---
    I'm impressed that a nobody like you
    lasted this long in here.
[17:29] ---
    You must have been saved by something,
    and lucky enough to live.
[17:34] ---
    Die!
[17:44] ---
    Tamaki! Are you all right?!
[17:46] ---
    Thank God!
[17:49] ---
    Juggernaut...
[17:54] ---
    Way to hang in there! Well done!
[17:57] ---
    Now, stay behind me.
[17:59] ---
    Captain...
[18:01] ---
    Hmm, "Captain"?
[18:05] ---
    This saves us some trouble.
    We were just about to come hunting you.
[18:10] ---
    Bring it on.
[18:11] ---
    Captain of the 8th,
[18:14] ---
    what does an unpowered like you plan to do
    against us, who can control flames?
[18:18] ---
    Captain Obi, keep back!
[18:21] ---
    Hmph, come back to the Nether
    when you can make a match's worth of fire!
[18:27] ---
    Whoo!
[18:41] ---
    I train for this!
[18:44] ---
    Every day, until I breathe fire!
[18:46] ---
    Sasori was taken out with one blow.
[18:49] ---
    I beg your pardon. Even without powers,
    you're still the captain of the 8th.
[18:55] ---
    No matter! I will not go down so easily!
[19:01] ---
    Gwah!
[19:04] ---
    Dosukoi!
[19:08] ---
    Th-They're so strong.
[19:10] ---
    They aren't the captains for nothing.
[19:14] ---
    We were worried when we lost contact
    with Lieutenant Kagenashi.
[19:19] ---
    I'm glad you're all right.
[19:21] ---
    I was pathetic. All I ever do
    is have others protect me.
[19:26] ---
    Even now, if you and the others
    hadn't come along...
[19:31] ---
    Must be your "lucky delivery," huh, Tamaki?
[19:37] ---
    --Wah! I...! I...!
    --Whoa, I-I'm sorry.
[19:41] ---
    Vulcan-san, that was the wrong call.
    This isn't the time.
[19:46] ---
    No, survival is what makes the Fire Soldier.
[19:51] ---
    And Tamaki, you are a fine Fire Soldier.
[19:54] ---
    You've lived to thwart the enemy's plans!
[19:59] ---
    Yes, sir!
[20:03] ---
    Attention, all Special Fire Force
    Company 2 personnel!
[20:07] ---
    All squads, assemble!
[20:12] ---
    I've long been told that the way I run
    is funny. I've been laughed at.
[20:18] ---
    That's why I hate running!
    But if I don't run away, I'll get killed...
[20:23] ---
    ...by Infernals!
[20:25] ---
    I don't want to die before
    learning the truth of this world!
[20:29] ---
    So I have to run! Even if I do run funny!
[20:41] ---
    Crewman Tamaki!
[20:42] ---
    Licht-san?!
[20:43] ---
    --Hey, watch your hands!
    --First lechery, then delivery,
    then lechery again. She's having a busy day.
[20:45] ---
    --I don't even care about that!
    My life is saved!
    --First lechery, then delivery, then lechery again. She's having a busy day.
[20:47] ---
    --I don't even care about that!
    My life is saved!
    --If you're gonna get lechered, you could at least be grateful!
[20:50] ---
    Licht, where is Lieutenant Ohana?
[20:53] ---
    Oh, the squad was wiped out.
    I'm the only one who escaped with his life.
[21:00] ---
    I see.
[21:02] ---
    You got here just in time. Take a look at this.
[21:06] ---
    Not even a moment to catch my breath, huh?
[21:08] ---
    It's a graph of the thermal
    sensors each squad placed.
[21:12] ---
    Heat sources that I believe to be Infernals
    are located at regular intervals.
[21:17] ---
    Do mindless Infernals behave
    in such an orderly fashion?
[21:21] ---
    I can't tell for sure from just this,
    but it is eerie, huh?
[21:25] ---
    The attacks by Infernals have
    suddenly stopped, and they've fallen quiet.
[21:31] ---
    The heat energy of Infernals,
    each lined up at regular intervals...
[21:36] ---
    --The enemy is planning to
    blow up the Nether facilities!
    --They're what?!
[21:39] ---
    This is bad! We have to do something fast,
    or this will be a disaster!
[21:48] ---
    What fools. You did not even know
    you were being lured right into the Nether.
[21:54] ---
    With my ability, Necro Pyro,
[21:57] ---
    I will sink all of Tokyo into the ground.
[22:01] ---
    I can make up the energy I was lacking
[22:03] ---
    by using the Fire Soldiers
    that have become Infernals.
[22:07] ---
    They didn't even know they were being lured in,
[22:09] ---
    and now, luckily for us,
    they waltz on down here in large numbers,
[22:15] ---
    as human bombs.
[22:17] ---
    All that remains now is to secure
    the Fourth Pillar, Shinra Kusakabe.
[22:23] ---
