[00:19] ---
    Violet Flash!
[00:25] ---
    He avoided that?!
[00:27] ---
    That one was pretty fast.
    If I hadn't read your pheromones,
[00:31] ---
    I wouldn't have dodged you.
[00:32] ---
    You're so gross!
[00:36] ---
    Bombardier Beetle!
[00:42] ---
    Get off me, you idiot!
[00:44] ---
    --At least let me get out of the way!
    --Ow... hot... hot...!
[00:47] ---
    Superheated gas. There's no escaping it.
[00:50] ---
    What are you all sneaking around
    in the Nether about?!
[00:55] ---
    Everything is ready.
[00:57] ---
    Our presence in the Nether
    is only a matter of time now.
[01:00] ---
    What?
[01:01] ---
    The extinction of this world is imminent.
[01:05] ---
    Very shortly, the Pillars will be gathered,
[01:07] ---
    and the Evangelist's plan will be completed.
[01:10] ---
    We're going to put a stop to that plan!
[01:13] ---
    Haven't you discovered in your investigations
[01:15] ---
    that the Tokyo Empire was created
    by means of the Evangelist's plan?
[01:21] ---
    As were the Holy Sol Temple
    and Amaterasu, all for this moment.
[01:26] ---
    It is mankind itself that wishes to
    perish more than anything, isn't it?
[01:32] ---
    There is no stopping it now.
[01:35] ---
    You say that mankind wishes to perish?
[01:37] ---
    Our mission as Fire Soldiers is to
    protect people's lives and property.
[01:42] ---
    Don't go deciding things for everyone!
[01:47] ---
    Are you saying that the Fire Force
    will deprive humanity of its chance
[01:51] ---
    to arrive at a higher plane
    by passing through destruction?
[01:58] ---
    Well, no matter. You will find out soon enough.
[02:03] ---
    Just like your brother did.
[02:05] ---
    What?!
[02:08] ---
    What happened to Sho?
[02:10] ---
    He is standing by quietly.
    Almost as though he were a puppet.
[02:22] ---
    I've always wanted one of these--
[02:25] ---
    a doll as pretty as this one.
[02:31] ---
    Don't look away, Arrow.
    You stand there quietly and watch.
[02:39] ---
    Watch as I play with my doll.
[04:18] ---
    "Episode 22:
    Plot for Extinction"
[04:24] ---
    Where...
[04:26] ---
    ...is Sho right now?
[04:28] ---
    He is where the Pillars need to be,
    prior to the coming of the Great Cataclysm.
[04:35] ---
    Your brother is on his
    best behavior, unlike you.
[04:39] ---
    By now, he is probably Haumea's plaything.
[04:47] ---
    Even if you can read my mind, I just have to
    move faster than you can react!
[04:54] ---
    No one is there. Did he vanish?
[04:57] ---
    I'm right here.
[04:59] ---
    Non!
[05:06] ---
    Such tremendous acceleration...
[05:19] ---
    It seems you do not intend to come with us.
[05:22] ---
    I once sensed the kind of bloodlust you possess.
[05:25] ---
    There's no way I'd ever trust anyone
    with a heart as sinister as yours!
[05:29] ---
    Sensed?
[05:31] ---
    Then you and I were connected?
    Via an Adolla Link?
[05:36] ---
    You're certain you heard my voice, right?
[05:38] ---
    Yeah! So what if I did?!
[05:41] ---
    That's incredible! I'm so glad
    you told me! Thank you! Thank you!
[05:46] ---
    You're saying that a mere human like me
    connected to you through Adolla?
[05:50] ---
    Only those who are connected to Adolla
    can undergo an Adolla Link!
[05:54] ---
    My Insect experiments!
    This is the fruit borne of them!
[05:58] ---
    I have become closer to Adolla!
[06:00] ---
    Then are you saying that
    I can't hear the voices of those
[06:03] ---
    who have never connected with Adolla?
[06:04] ---
    It stands to reason! An Adolla Link
[06:07] ---
    can only be achieved between those
    who have an Adolla Burst,
[06:11] ---
    or have been in contact with Adolla.
[06:17] ---
    Hold on. I've heard the voices of others
    through an Adolla Link twice before.
[06:21] ---
    Once with Dr. Giovanni...
[06:24] ---
    Kill Vulcan.
[06:26] ---
    ...and the other time was...
[06:28] ---
    Shinra!
[06:32] ---
    ...with Lieutenant Konro.
[06:34] ---
    If you can't have an Adolla Link
    without an Adolla Burst,
[06:37] ---
    then how did I hear Lieutenant Konro?
[06:40] ---
    Is something the matter?
[06:41] ---
    Shut up!
[06:43] ---
    The Evangelist resides
    not in this world, but in Adolla.
[06:47] ---
    How are you going to stop the Evangelist,
    who is in another world?
[06:51] ---
    I don't care if you can meddle with
    the higher plane of Adolla,
[06:55] ---
    the most that you can do is peer into it.
[06:58] ---
    Are you saying it's impossible
    for us to go to Adolla?
[07:01] ---
    How are you going to put the fire to rest
    if you do not go to the scene, Fire Soldier?
[07:07] ---
    This world is doomed to do
    nothing else but burn away now.
[07:11] ---
    We humans are nothing more than
    the fuel in which this world will burn!
[07:15] ---
    Humanity has worshipped the sun.
[07:17] ---
    There is no way we will turn down
    burning as brightly as the sun!
[07:22] ---
    Just as the Evangelist has
    instilled upon us, right?!
[07:25] ---
    Ritsu is getting everything ready now.
[07:28] ---
    Allow us to demonstrate now, at the onset,
[07:31] ---
    how people are implements of destruction.
[07:35] ---
    By utilizing the Nether,
[07:37] ---
    the Tokyo Empire on the surface
    will be utterly destroyed.
[07:42] ---
    Demolition?!
[07:43] ---
    Are you certain?
[07:45] ---
    Yes, it's most likely.
[07:47] ---
    The enemy intends to use
    Infernals as a shaped charge.
[07:51] ---
    Shaped charge?
[07:52] ---
    From what I saw of the sensors
    that Vulcan-kun showed me,
[07:55] ---
    the Infernals are positioned
    in this conical arrangement.
[08:00] ---
    Is there some significance to this arrangement?
[08:03] ---
    The shaped charge used in demolition
[08:05] ---
    employs a phenomenon known as
    the Munroe-Neumann effect,
[08:08] ---
    which requires this sort of
    cone-shaped explosive.
[08:12] ---
    When you line the interior of the explosive
    with a thin metal lining, and then detonate it,
[08:16] ---
    the metal forms a jet forced by
    the shockwave from the explosion
[08:19] ---
    straight up through the center of the cone.
[08:22] ---
    The metal flies up
    utilizing the shock of the explosion,
[08:25] ---
    so that jet is powerful enough to blow
    a hole through anything it hits.
[08:30] ---
    With Infernals standing in as explosives
    to create that shaped charge,
[08:33] ---
    they are planning to use minimal firepower
    to produce maximum damage.
[08:37] ---
    Geographically, we are at
    the center of the Tokyo Empire.
[08:41] ---
    The damage will be enormous.
[08:44] ---
    So you're saying that if they perform
    this demolition in the Nether...
[08:49] ---
    The Tokyo Empire will be laid to waste.
[08:55] ---
    Is there anything we can do to prevent it?
[08:58] ---
    I heard what was happening.
[09:00] ---
    I'm late getting back here because
    the man behind me was dragging his feet.
[09:04] ---
    Detective Oze...
[09:05] ---
    I've memorized the entire layout
    of the construction in the Nether.
[09:08] ---
    Is there anything I can do to help?
[09:10] ---
    The critical component of a shaped charge
    is the direction of the jet.
[09:13] ---
    If that can be altered,
    we may be able to get out of this.
[09:17] ---
    To do that, we'll need a second generation
[09:19] ---
    who can control flames over a wide area.
[09:23] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa is
    a master of pinpoint precision,
[09:27] ---
    so he is not suited to this kind of operation.
[09:28] ---
    Tch, you're useless.
[09:31] ---
    Hmm? Hey, hey, hey, hey!
    This is no time for chewing the fat!
[09:35] ---
    They're about to explode!
[09:36] ---
    What do we do?! Are there no other
    second generation pyrokinetics?!
[09:40] ---
    No second generations
    who can affect a wide area.
[09:43] ---
    There's only one person I know of
    who can pull off anything this freakish.
[09:49] ---
    First Class Fire Soldier Maki Oze--
    oh, make that Secretary Oze--
[09:54] ---
    who, as I recall, you took
    away from us, Detective--
[09:56] ---
    Ah! There's no point in talking about
    people who aren't even here!
[09:59] ---
    We'll just have to do it with the
    second generations we have on hand!
[10:02] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa, give me a hand with this!
[10:04] ---
    I can't. I'm useless.
[10:06] ---
    Wha--?!
[10:07] ---
    You toot your own horn
    about putting lives first,
[10:10] ---
    but when it comes down to it,
    the 8th is nothing more than a violent gang!
[10:13] ---
    We will manage something.
    The 8th does put lives first.
[10:17] ---
    If we don't stop this, there will be
    mass casualties on the surface.
[10:22] ---
    Vulcan!
[10:23] ---
    Right!
[10:26] ---
    When it comes to saving lives,
    regulations be damned!
[10:30] ---
    Right...
[10:32] ---
    ...Maki-san?
[10:33] ---
    --Maki?!
    --Maki-san?!
[10:34] ---
    S-Sorry I'm late!
[10:37] ---
    I'm up to speed on the situation, thanks to
    the communicator I got from Vulcan.
[10:40] ---
    The 8th doesn't hold back
    anything from each other.
[10:43] ---
    You're sure about this?
[10:44] ---
    --Yes, sir.
    --What are you doing here?!
[10:46] ---
    It's too dangerous!
[10:47] ---
    Are you still going on about that?
[10:49] ---
    Right now, saving lives comes first.
[10:51] ---
    That doesn't mean you have to
    risk your life to do it!
[10:53] ---
    Why not? You're taking a risk
    by coming down here, too!
[10:56] ---
    But you're a girl!
[10:58] ---
    So I can't stick my neck out
    just because I'm female?
[11:01] ---
    Are you going to take me off
    the front line, like Mom?
[11:04] ---
    I... am going to use my power
    to keep people safe!
[11:08] ---
    Vulcan, let me know when!
[11:10] ---
    You got it. The explosion is near.
    Just stand by as you are.
[11:13] ---
    Maki, there's still time! Hurry up and evacuate!
[11:17] ---
    --Maki!
    --A moment, please!
[11:20] ---
    It's true that with Maki-san's help,
    we can inhibit the shaped charge.
[11:23] ---
    But it will not stop the flames that
    will be produced by the explosion!
[11:27] ---
    There is nowhere in the Nether
    that will allow the flames to escape!
[11:31] ---
    Meaning?
[11:32] ---
    Meaning that those of us still in the Nether...
[11:35] ---
    ...are all about to be roasted to death!
[11:38] ---
    I hate to say!
[11:47] ---
    The way this is heading, we're all dead?!
[11:50] ---
    What are you talking about, Licht?!
[11:51] ---
    If we use Maki-san's ability
    to control the direction
[11:54] ---
    of the Infernal-explosive shaped charge,
[11:56] ---
    we can prevent this facility and
    the rest of Tokyo from being destroyed,
[11:59] ---
    but this is the Nether.
[12:01] ---
    There is nowhere for the flames
    created by the explosion to go,
[12:04] ---
    so we're all going to burn to death
    from the heat of the trapped flames!
[12:07] ---
    Except for Crewman Tamaki, who is heat tolerant.
[12:09] ---
    --Once again, I survive for no reason!
    --Are you serious?
[12:11] ---
    --Once again, I survive for no reason!
    --Oh, God...
[12:13] ---
    What do we do, then?
[12:16] ---
    We are Fire Soldiers!
[12:18] ---
    If this saves the lives of
    all those people on the surface,
[12:20] ---
    then I'm okay with it.
[12:23] ---
    Vulcan, say when!
[12:24] ---
    Yeah, I'm on it!
[12:27] ---
    Is that all right, Captain Obi?
[12:30] ---
    Yeah. We'll find a way
    to survive this on our own.
[12:35] ---
    I don't want to die, either, so I'm thinking...
[12:38] ---
    ...if we can find a place in the Nether
    for the heat to escape through...
[12:43] ---
    But without any data,
    this maze-like Nether is simply...
[12:46] ---
    For my job, I memorized the maps
    of the Nether for the whole empire.
[12:50] ---
    If you include the caved-in facilities,
[12:52] ---
    then maybe there is enough space
    for the heat to escape.
[12:55] ---
    True, if we knew enough about
    the geography in here...
[12:58] ---
    As for the flames themselves,
    there's geothermal dissipation...
[13:00] ---
    If we can use that...
[13:02] ---
    There's no time!
[13:03] ---
    I don't have time to explain,
    so I'll tell you what to do!
[13:11] ---
    Brother...
[13:12] ---
    You just focus on
    controlling the flames right now.
[13:14] ---
    You two being in sync will be crucial!
[13:17] ---
    You have to follow the Nether's
    geography to where I tell you,
[13:20] ---
    and navigate Maki-san's flame control there!
[13:22] ---
    Got it!
[13:25] ---
    The sensors are picking something up!
    Heat sources within 3km are spiking!
[13:36] ---
    Blow!
[13:45] ---
    It's started!
[13:46] ---
    First, please change the direction
    of the shaped charge jet!
[13:49] ---
    If we can redirect the blast wave,
    we can keep the facility from collapsing!
[13:52] ---
    Once the jet is redirected,
    where should we lead the flames?!
[13:59] ---
    Drive them down to the lower floors
    as much as you can!
[14:02] ---
    Right!
[14:04] ---
    I can arrest the flames.
    I won't let them have free rein.
[14:10] ---
    All the flames in the area...
[14:17] ---
    ...are under my control!
[14:23] ---
    This is only the beginning. The real
    extermination of Tokyo is yet to come.
[14:34] ---
    Huh?
[14:39] ---
    Maki, I'll direct you, so you just
    control them like I tell you to.
[14:42] ---
    Right.
[14:43] ---
    Flames can go through places
    where people can no longer pass.
[14:49] ---
    Keep on directing the flames
    to the deepest part of the Nether!
[14:52] ---
    If there's a point where the walls have
    collapsed and bare earth is exposed...
[14:58] ---
    ...then we can avoid the flames' heat
    through geothermic dissipation.
[15:01] ---
    Geothermic dissipation?
[15:03] ---
    We'll exploit the laws of nature
    that keep the ground's temperature
[15:06] ---
    at a constant 18 degrees.
[15:08] ---
    Oh, now I get it!
[15:09] ---
    --You hear that? We're chasing
    the flames into the ground.
    --Right!
[15:13] ---
    Keep on pushing the heat source into the ground!
[15:15] ---
    With brother and sister combining
    their abilities with geothermal laws...
[15:20] ---
    ...over a long enough time,
    the earth will cool off the flames for us!
[15:36] ---
    It looks like it worked.
[15:39] ---
    Hinawa,
[15:41] ---
    if Maki hadn't been here, we, along with
    the rest of Tokyo, would be in a crater.
[15:44] ---
    Maki is a role model for all Fire Soldiers.
[15:47] ---
    She is someone absolutely essential at the 8th.
[15:51] ---
    Your judgment was right on the money.
[15:56] ---
    Did we make it?
[15:59] ---
    Brother,
[16:01] ---
    this is what my...
[16:03] ---
    ...this is what the 8th's job is.
[16:10] ---
    They failed?
[16:12] ---
    Failed? I don't know what you were plotting,
[16:16] ---
    but it looks like it was powerless
    in the face of Fire Soldier teamwork.
[16:20] ---
    Hey, Arthur, let's show him our teamwork, too!
[16:26] ---
    "Non-self"
[16:28] ---
    Non-self...
[16:29] ---
    How did you...?!
[16:30] ---
    Teamwork...?
[16:33] ---
    "Nirvana"
[16:34] ---
    Nirvana...
[16:36] ---
    I am delivered. You can no longer read my mind.
[16:39] ---
    My sword has attained
    the realm of the bodhisattvas.
[16:42] ---
    No, you're just not thinking anything.
[16:45] ---
    That has nothing at all
    to do with being a knight.
[16:48] ---
    Non-self: Without drawing the breath of life,
    a life-taking blow is struck.
[16:53] ---
    This strike, delivered unawares
    to even masters of breath-reading,
[16:57] ---
    imparts a truly fatal blow.
[17:01] ---
    Hmph, villain. Die now.
[17:04] ---
    You didn't even hesitate.
[17:08] ---
    So the 8th has a ruthless professional, does it?
[17:12] ---
    Perhaps I underestimated you
    somewhat without realizing it.
[17:18] ---
    Insects?!
[17:21] ---
    D-Damn it!
[17:29] ---
    Where's Giovanni?!
[17:32] ---
    --Right here.
    --No, dumbass, I mean his head!
[17:37] ---
    My research into the Insects
    has been productive.
[17:40] ---
    I took part in an Adolla Link.
[17:43] ---
    We'll meet again.
[17:47] ---
    Have all of your men been accounted for?
[17:50] ---
    The damage was worse than I imagined.
[17:52] ---
    However, we're now aware of
    just how dangerous the White-Clad are.
[17:56] ---
    If Crewman Oze hadn't been here,
    the damage would have been far worse.
[18:01] ---
    Well, Brother?
[18:03] ---
    Do you understand my--
    the 8th's work a little better now?
[18:09] ---
    Yeah, I guess.
[18:12] ---
    But he's no good! He only
    thinks of you as a meat shield!
[18:16] ---
    Well, I guess it goes without saying now...
[18:27] ---
    ...but I want to return to the 8th.
[18:31] ---
    Indeed. Your ability is
    better suited for the Fire Force.
[18:36] ---
    It's not just my ability;
    my ambitions are a fit for the Fire Force!
[18:41] ---
    I see. I'll start the paperwork
    to have you transferred back to the 8th.
[18:47] ---
    W-Were you testing me, sir?
[18:50] ---
    I was concerned with whether
    a little princess like you...
[18:53] ---
    ...could fight against
    the ever-more-radical White-Clad.
[18:57] ---
    You did well today.
[19:01] ---
    Thank you very much, sir.
[19:04] ---
    Hey! You keep away from the Oze family!
[19:07] ---
    The heat source readings have gone silent.
    We're out of the woods now.
[19:11] ---
    Search for the remains of those
    who have fallen in the line of duty.
[19:14] ---
    Find as many of them as you can.
[19:17] ---
    I will take the wounded and return with them...
[19:22] ---
    ...back to the surface.
[19:28] ---
    It sure is a relief to see the sun again.
[19:32] ---
    What Dr. Giovanni said bothers me.
[19:35] ---
    Only those who have an Adolla Burst
    or have been connected to Adolla
[19:38] ---
    are capable of an Adolla Link?
[19:42] ---
    If that's true...
[19:46] ---
    He's more-or-less okay.
[19:48] ---
    He's lost his right hand and left leg,
    and is burned and cut up from head to toe,
[19:52] ---
    but he's still alive. He's got
    the will to live of a potato.
[19:58] ---
    You really did manage to hang in there...
[20:00] ---
    ...until you were dug up.
[20:02] ---
    Crewman Kotatsu, it's thanks to you
    that Juggernaut survived.
[20:06] ---
    "Dramatic sting"
[20:07] ---
    Thank you.
[20:09] ---
    I'm the one who really got rescued.
[20:12] ---
    If it weren't for Platoon Leader Hajiki
    and Crewman Noto, I...
[20:17] ---
    ...wouldn't be here right now...
[20:20] ---
    If we didn't have the 8th's help,
    we might have all been wiped out.
[20:24] ---
    The military and the Fire Force
    can't afford to be so disconnected.
[20:28] ---
    Tokyo has to unite.
[20:30] ---
    I truly am glad that we made it through this
    without losing you young crewmen.
[20:39] ---
    Are you thinking about Maki?
[20:41] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[20:43] ---
    As of today, she has gone
    back to the Fire Force.
[20:47] ---
    Are you still anxious about her?
[20:49] ---
    I want to let my daughter do as she wishes...
[20:53] ---
    ...but I'm still worried about her.
[20:55] ---
    Maki's ability is a super power
    she got from her mother, after all.
[21:00] ---
    I'm not nearly that strong.
[21:02] ---
    Madoka-chan, when you quit the military
    to become a homemaker,
[21:05] ---
    did you also feel discontent about it?
[21:08] ---
    It's all I can do to keep my own home safe.
[21:12] ---
    But Maki isn't like me.
[21:16] ---
    She may be our innocent,
    adorable little daughter around us,
[21:20] ---
    but she has an incredibly
    powerful strength and will.
[21:24] ---
    Oh yes, and she gets that from you.
[21:29] ---
    Let's watch over our daughter together.
[21:36] ---
    Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
[21:40] ---
    "Platoon Leader"
    "Maki Oze"
[21:43] ---
    At last, Maki-san has made platoon leader.
[21:46] ---
    Very impressive.
[21:49] ---
    When we don't even have a platoon?
[21:51] ---
    Meaning what?
[21:52] ---
    That nothing is different from before.
[21:57] ---
    Are you sure, 8th? You're okay with this?
[22:00] ---
    "Fish Beat"
[22:01] ---
    "Fish Beat"
    "No squads, either"
[22:04] ---
    It's like the 8th is playing
    Fire Force dress-up.
[22:07] ---
    It's nice and peaceful
    when they're all idiots, huh?
[22:09] ---
    You're the one who recruited them.
[22:11] ---
    Still...
[22:17] ---
    ...they're the real deal.
[22:23] ---
    "To be continued"
[23:56] ---
    "Fire Force, Season 2"
[23:58] ---
    "Next time"
[24:00] ---
    I'll try harder, too!
[24:03] ---
    Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,
    episode 23, "Firecat."
[24:08] ---
    "Episode 23:
    Firecat"
[24:09] ---
    Return to the great flame of fire. Látom.
