[00:21] ---
    Lisa...
[00:30] ---
    There's no way you two,
    who are unpowered, can beat us.
[00:34] ---
    Lisa-san! Don't do this!
[00:36] ---
    Here in this world,
    where human combustion is rampant,
[00:40] ---
    you who are unpowered and unable to
    cope with it have no choice but to die.
[00:43] ---
    However, Lisa's power
    has been kindled within her.
[00:48] ---
    Thanks to her compatibility with the bugs.
[00:52] ---
    My parents died in a fire
    caused by an Infernal.
[00:56] ---
    Ever since then, I feared the flames,
[00:59] ---
    but thanks to the bugs, my eyes were opened,
    and the fear disappeared.
[01:02] ---
    Lisa, you're being fooled!
[01:04] ---
    Just like you before, I
    don't have any powers.
[01:08] ---
    As a Fire Soldier, carrying out my duties,
    I, too, experience the terror of the flames.
[01:18] ---
    Dr. Giovanni is only preying on your
    vulnerability to take advantage of you!
[01:22] ---
    You can say that to her with your ax in hand?
[01:25] ---
    I'm directing that at you!
[01:29] ---
    Stop this, Lisa-san!
    There's no reason to protect him!
[01:33] ---
    These tentacles that envelop me
    react to magnetism,
[01:37] ---
    and automatically defend me.
[01:40] ---
    The flames that I once feared
    are now something that protect me.
[01:44] ---
    What kind of bug did this to you, Lisa?!
[01:49] ---
    Would you like to know?
[01:52] ---
    I'm not telling you!
[01:55] ---
    You're both going to die in ignorance!
[01:58] ---
    You are one aggravating old coot!
[02:03] ---
    Did you think you could put out
    my flames with a fire extinguisher?!
[02:08] ---
    That won't work, Captain!
[02:10] ---
    Yeah, we'll see!
[02:14] ---
    Are you just messing with me now?
[02:17] ---
    No, I'm not messing with you.
[02:19] ---
    I'm trying my hardest to rescue you
    from the flames holding you captive!
[02:24] ---
    I am not captive!
[02:26] ---
    Then tell me, why do you look so anxious?
[02:29] ---
    I am not anxious!
[02:34] ---
    Putting out fires is our job.
[02:41] ---
    You brought something as useless as
    a fire extinguisher to the battlefield?
[02:44] ---
    What a foolish man you are.
[02:48] ---
    You used to be a Fire Soldier, right?
    You know how dangerous a scene can be.
[02:54] ---
    The motto of a Fire Soldier
    is to protect lives and property!
[02:59] ---
    Rescue equipment is never useless!
[03:04] ---
    Kill them.
[03:05] ---
    Y-Yes, sir.
[03:08] ---
    Your compassion is going
    to cost you your life.
[03:10] ---
    Your desire to save lives is pointless
    if you lose your own life.
[03:15] ---
    The last thing I'd do is
    treat my life carelessly.
[03:19] ---
    I've been setting things up to save you,
    Lisa-san. Sorry to keep you.
[03:28] ---
    Obi!
[03:30] ---
    You pretended to get beaten up by her
[03:31] ---
    so you could put extinguisher grenades
    on each of her tentacles?!
[03:40] ---
    I'm falling...!
[03:45] ---
    I don't have anything left...
[03:49] ---
    Dad... Mom...
[04:06] ---
    Vulcan!
[04:12] ---
    I don't think you get it, Feeler!
[05:47] ---
    Feeler!
[05:53] ---
    Who was it that saved you
    from the flame terror?
[05:57] ---
    I'm the one who allowed you
    to stay together with Vulcan.
[06:02] ---
    I know you haven't forgotten
    how indebted you are to me.
[06:05] ---
    Come back.
[06:08] ---
    Lisa!
[06:10] ---
    It's no use.
[06:12] ---
    Dr. Giovanni is the one who
    gave to me when I lost everything.
[06:17] ---
    I can't turn against him.
[06:21] ---
    Just leave me alone, okay?
[06:29] ---
    Giovanni!
[06:30] ---
    Don't move. I will burn through
    her neck with this heating wire.
[06:34] ---
    Stop!
[06:40] ---
    Vulcan, if you want to save this girl,
    you will do as I say.
[06:46] ---
    Take that gun and shoot Obi with it.
[06:49] ---
    Just how rotten are you?!
[06:53] ---
    Rejoice, Feeler.
[06:56] ---
    Right now, your life is being
    put to use to serve the Evangelist.
[07:01] ---
    Isn't that what you want?
[07:04] ---
    Vulcan, do as he says.
[07:16] ---
    I'm sorry.
[07:17] ---
    Hold your head up.
[07:19] ---
    Now, shoot him. You're out of time.
[07:23] ---
    You can make a big production,
    but it comes down to you shooting him or not.
[07:27] ---
    If you shoot him, Feeler lives;
[07:29] ---
    if you don't, Lisa dies.
[07:32] ---
    That's all there is to it.
[07:34] ---
    I swear I'm gonna kill you!
[07:36] ---
    You are?
[07:38] ---
    Then you can watch as this heating wire
    sends the girl's head flying.
[07:43] ---
    Shoot me, Vulcan! Shoot me and save Lisa-san!
[07:52] ---
    I can't!
[07:53] ---
    Then Lisa is finished.
[07:55] ---
    Shoot me, Vulcan! Lisa-san will be killed!
[07:59] ---
    Yeah, but...
[08:04] ---
    Damn it!
[08:16] ---
    You'd shoot your superior
    to protect your girl, Vulcan?
[08:27] ---
    Lisa...
[08:29] ---
    Captain...
[08:35] ---
    Damn that's terrifying,
    even knowing it's coming!
[08:43] ---
    Turnout coats aren't
    supposed to be bulletproof.
[08:46] ---
    You had something rigged up over your chest.
[08:51] ---
    Would you like to know?
    Hmm? Giovanni? Hmm?
[08:57] ---
    --It's an anti-physical-attack vest!
    --I'm not telling!
[09:01] ---
    Aww...
[09:03] ---
    I am the 8th's engineer!
[09:05] ---
    There's no way I'm letting
    my captain go out unprotected!
[09:09] ---
    And that's why you did something that rash.
[09:12] ---
    We trust each other at the 8th,
    which makes us a team.
[09:16] ---
    Trust is a ridiculous, inexplicable concept!
[09:20] ---
    What kind of disordered hardware is that?!
[09:23] ---
    If the old man saw those, he'd be disgusted.
[09:26] ---
    Penguin-met, equip!
[09:32] ---
    I'm going to give your
    machinery a strength test!
[09:47] ---
    You make some weak hardware, don't you?
[09:52] ---
    Lisa!
[09:57] ---
    Lisa...
[09:58] ---
    Nice! Way to go!
[10:00] ---
    Pretty smooth work for an unpowered.
[10:05] ---
    You started out as a Fire Soldier!
[10:08] ---
    How does someone who protects
    the people from the flames
[10:11] ---
    end up giving rise to man-made Infernals?!
[10:14] ---
    What is this Evangelist you speak of after
    to be doing such a thing?!
[10:19] ---
    You said that the motto
    you Fire Soldiers have
[10:21] ---
    is to protect lives and property, didn't you?
[10:25] ---
    Don't you realize how trivial that is?
[10:30] ---
    Take a broader look at the world.
[10:32] ---
    People are just a small portion
    of the energy in it.
[10:37] ---
    Let stunted humanity burn,
    and become a part of this world!
[10:42] ---
    That's a load of crap!
[10:44] ---
    Around 250 years ago, the planet
    faced the Day of the Cataclysm.
[10:50] ---
    The cause of it was the release
    of a massive Adolla Burst.
[10:55] ---
    Further, the source of the Adolla Burst
    is a place you already believe in.
[11:03] ---
    Long before the Solar calendar began,
[11:06] ---
    before even the Great Cataclysm,
    since time immemorial,
[11:09] ---
    mankind has lived in fear of it.
[11:14] ---
    Regardless of what causes human combustion,
    it's our job to stop it.
[11:20] ---
    There isn't a good reason
    to set people ablaze!
[11:24] ---
    Spontaneous human combustion
    is in keeping with natural law.
[11:28] ---
    Do you intend to defy the natural order?
[11:31] ---
    Your own bugs are unnatural!
[11:39] ---
    Do you think the Evangelist to be
    a common person such as yourselves?
[11:44] ---
    Whoever or whatever the Evangelist may be,
[11:46] ---
    they're nothing more than an idol
    you heretics have propped up to worship!
[11:52] ---
    Honestly. What a ridiculous notion.
    An idol we worship?
[11:58] ---
    Then what does that make the great
    Sol of the Holy Sol Temple?
[12:01] ---
    What is the meaning in offering prayers
    that you don't know will be answered
[12:06] ---
    to a god that you don't know exists?
[12:07] ---
    Say what you will, but the Holy Sol Temple
    doesn't burn people!
[12:12] ---
    The Evangelist is no idol.
[12:17] ---
    An unpowered such as yourself
    could not comprehend the Evangelist.
[12:22] ---
    Though Shinra Kusakabe
    may be starting to get an inkling.
[12:32] ---
    "Episode 21:
    Those Connected"
[12:42] ---
    Shinra-kun? Are you all right?
[13:12] ---
    Where is... this place...?
[13:28] ---
    Who... are you...?
[13:34] ---
    Shinra!
[13:52] ---
    Sho...
[14:15] ---
    Shinra-kun!
[14:17] ---
    Are you okay, Shinra-kun?
[14:20] ---
    What... did I...?
[14:26] ---
    "Devil's Footprints."
[14:29] ---
    What's the matter? Do you see something?
[14:37] ---
    He's there, up ahead-- Sho.
[14:46] ---
    Right about now,
[14:47] ---
    Shinra Kusakabe's Adolla Burst should be
    starting to Link with Commander Sho.
[14:53] ---
    Link? What is it he's connecting with?
[14:57] ---
    What is an Adolla Burst?!
[15:00] ---
    An Adolla Burst is a special flame
    that can affect all other heat.
[15:05] ---
    It's the next step beyond a pyrokinetic,
[15:07] ---
    as well as the pilot light
    behind human combustion.
[15:11] ---
    Then what are those bugs?!
[15:14] ---
    Why do you use them as pilot lights
    to trigger human combustion?!
[15:17] ---
    The connection between bugs and flames?
[15:20] ---
    It's often said that the biology of insects
    evolved down a different path
[15:24] ---
    than the other creatures of the earth, right?
[15:27] ---
    So then, where did bugs come from?
[15:30] ---
    What if they come from the same place
    that Adolla Bursts originate?
[15:35] ---
    "Like moths to a flame."
[15:38] ---
    What if that behavior is them trying
    to return to their mother flames?
[15:53] ---
    So, you came after all... Shinra Kusakabe.
[15:58] ---
    Yeah! I'm here, just like I promised!
[16:01] ---
    Promised? Promised to whom?
[16:04] ---
    To our mom, Sho.
[16:08] ---
    I don't have a mother. The only
    mother figure I have is the Evangelist.
[16:13] ---
    Just thinking that you and I
    might be brothers turns my stomach.
[16:17] ---
    I have no recollection of being
    born from that filthy belly.
[16:36] ---
    Don't speak ill of Mom.
[16:39] ---
    Two bearers of an Adolla Burst,
    right before my eyes!
[16:43] ---
    Fantastic!
[17:36] ---
    You're not in the mood
    for a friendly chat, then?
[18:05] ---
    Are you able to see this, too?
[18:41] ---
    What just happened?
    It was like he stopped time.
[18:45] ---
    How could he do that with pyrokinesis?
[19:09] ---
    Captain!
[19:10] ---
    --Lieutenant Hinawa!
[19:12] ---
    --Maki!
    --Lieutenant Hinawa!
[19:13] ---
    Captain!
[19:14] ---
    The lesson is over.
[19:17] ---
    My task was to get Commander Sho
    and Shinra Kusakabe together.
[19:23] ---
    Now that it has been accomplished,
    I have no need to buy any more time.
[19:28] ---
    All by the grace of the Evangelist.
[19:31] ---
    Hold it!
[19:36] ---
    Adolla Bursts are the cause
    of human combustion?
[19:40] ---
    What the hell is happening to the world?
[19:45] ---
    You think you can just run away?!
[19:47] ---
    I'll leave Lisa here. But you will not
    reverse her brainwashing.
[19:52] ---
    Please wait... Please
    don't leave me behind...
[19:58] ---
    Lisa...
[20:00] ---
    Brainwashing... Religion... Faith...
[20:05] ---
    They're like a curse to people.
[20:11] ---
    Bye, now.
[20:15] ---
    However quickly you may be able to move,
    you can never catch up to me.
[20:21] ---
    The universes in which
    we exist are different.
[20:25] ---
    Universes?
[20:26] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[20:29] ---
    We live in different universes?
    Is that why you're telling me to give up?
[20:34] ---
    I'm taking you with me,
    even if I have to drag you along!
[20:59] ---
    What is that steam?
[21:03] ---
    What, have you been bewitched by a fox?
[21:09] ---
    Universes... time... freezing...
[21:12] ---
    If he's engaging enough heat
    to expand the universe...
[21:16] ---
    I-It can't be...!
[21:20] ---
    Even if he is a third generation,
    can a person do such a thing?!
[21:25] ---
    Shinra-kun, let's get out of here!
    He's too much for you! You can't win!
[21:29] ---
    Commander Sho is...!
[21:31] ---
    Huh? What exactly is Sho doing?
[21:34] ---
    No matter how fast you are,
    it is meaningless against me.
[21:40] ---
    I can control my own universe.
[21:43] ---
    Your own universe?
    What the hell does that mean?
[21:51] ---
    Another Adolla Link?
[21:55] ---
    You will never understand it
    if I explain it in words.
[21:58] ---
    
[22:00] ---
    
[22:02] ---
    
[22:03] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:09] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head
    and I'll go back to myself
[22:15] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[22:32] ---
    He that used his claws on me
[22:34] ---
    Uses the same claws to defend someone else
[22:37] ---
    Weapons turn into both wounds and shields
[22:39] ---
    Isn't that what life's about?
[22:43] ---
    A secret known to none
[22:44] ---
    For so long almost seems to disappear
    but never does
[22:48] ---
    Been holding on to it
[22:50] ---
    While spending a night in the fire
[22:53] ---
    The more they're attracted,
    the more the ignorant laugh
[22:55] ---
    What used to make up the universe
    until yesterday takes the helm
[22:58] ---
    The entire range of emotions that breathes
[23:01] ---
    Don't want to take away
    what I haven't even experienced
[23:05] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head
    and I'll go back to myself
[23:11] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[23:17] ---
    Don't get in my way anymore
[23:21] ---
    I won't be killed by your ideals
