**[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] ---**
